Hugo 2
Chord
The Chord Hugo 2 is a landmark achievement in the world of portable DAC technology. This is a device made for every type of audiophile, featuring custom designed and fabricated FGPA DAC circuitry, audio filtering designs from the legendary Rob Watts, and a package that’s just as comfortable at a table as a coffee shop as it is on a desk at home. No matter where you go, Hugo 2 is the perfect compliment to your listening setup, large or small.
Serious musical capability on tap
The Hugo 2 is ready to adapt to your needs – take it to your favorite coffee shop and jam with its integrated battery supporting you along, or plug it into your desktop system at home and kick back while controlling the unit with the included remote. Add Chord’s acclaimed FPGA DAC technology to the listening mix, and this very well could be the only DAC you’ll ever need.
Outstanding performance everywhere you go
With file format support that goes all the way up to 32-bit/768kHz PCM and DSD512, the Hugo 2 is a powerful DAC, capable of handling just about any music you throw its way. On top of all that ability, the Hugo 2 has input support for micro USB, Optical and Coaxial connections, and can deliver audio output via RCA and 3.5mm or 6.5mm headphone jacks.
Go even further with 2go
When the Hugo 2 is combined with Chord’s specially designed streamer, the 2go, you’ll gain the ability to stream your music via Bluetooth and WiFi (AirPlay, Roon Ready) to your portable DAC. The pairing of the 2go with the Hugo 2 makes for the pinnacle on-the-go HiFi experience that’s perfect for every audiophile.
