Chord Electronic Introduces A Cutting-Edge Tech For The Next-Gen Performance - The Hugo 2

The Chord Hugo 2 features next-gen performance in terms of sound all thanks to its FPGA and WTA (Watts Transient Aligned) filters. It offers 49,152 taps. It can be used at home in a conventional audio system or on-the-move using the 7-hour battery life. You get 2 modes of automatic charging with its dedicated Micro USB charging port. Enjoy an immersive listening experience with Chord Hugo 2.

Features Advance Technology For High-Quality Audio

Chord Electronics Hugo 2 features recent advances in digital technology, including the latest FPGAs and WTA (Watts Transient Aligned) filters, a next-generation version that offers enhanced features along with improved technical and sonic performance.

Seamless Compatibility With Multiple Connectivity Options

You can connect the Hugo 2 to multiple devices with the optical, coaxial and HD USB inputs. The analogue outputs include RCA connectors, 3.5mm jack and 6.35mm headphone outputs. You can also stream audio wirelessly using Bluetooth with Qualcomm aptX. The USB connection supports hi-res file playback up to 768kHz and DSD512 while the remote control adds flexibility to full-sized desktop systems.

Choose Between Different Filter & Operation Modes

Choose between the 4 frequency-shaping switch filters. You can pick between a warm & soft presentation or a transparent & incisive sound. The Hugo 2 offers three operation modes for headphone-listening. It even retains the popular digital crossfeed function of the original Hugo. The system duplicates the effect of listening to speakers and is based on advanced binaural audio research.

Durable Aluminium Chassis With Stylish Control Buttons

Just like the Chord Mojo, the Hugo 2 can drive headphones up to 800Ω. All its cutting-edge tech is encased in a durable CNC-milled aluminium chassis. It features four spherical control buttons which illuminate in a different colour light to give you information about the power, input, filters and crossfeed functions.
