Chord Hugo 2 Review: Still Relevant in 2023? 

Thank you for the review I appreciate it and honestly never had this on my radar due to the age and had the Qutest and wasn’t a fan. But I sold my Dave to get the May KTE and was also disappointed way to much air treble frequency with my setup and felt I made a huge mistake going to it, specially when a new Dave MScaler is around the corner. Anyways I can totally agree on the Hugo 2 being a little Dave. 1. Are you going to buy a Chord 2go? 2. Does the PW Audio 4.4mm really give you more power? Thank you 🙏

I tried to compare Hugo 2 over Fiio M17. Despite Hugo 2 being old, its still sounds a lot better than latest Fiio M17.

Good morning from Toronto ☕️ The Sen’s 650’s is one of those headphone that everyone uses as a base ..myself included. Great review and very informative 👍🍕☕️

I love the volume wheel on hugo 2. Great microadjustment and very satisfying to roll up/downwards !

Great video. Have you tried your CA Trifecta with the Hugo 2 ? Thoughts ?

Good review as ususal :) From time to time I have some ideas to get a second hand Hugo 2. I feel a little bit encouraged. Would love to see your comparison of the Odin to Noble Viking Ragnar, somday :)

Thanks for the review I am getting the smaller Mojo 2 I like the high roll off and warm mode it will complement my v shape ier z1r

Thank you for the review, really appreciate it. Did you try it with Hifiman Arya Stealth? Do you think it will be a good pairing?

Have you had a chance to try out the various RCA adapters from PW Audio such as the regular, 1950s, or Orpheus editions? If so, what made you go with the 1960s iteration?

Curious what you plug it into on the go? Your phone or your Sony DAP? Thanks for a great interesting review as always!

This drive Arya Stealth well too ? (Without any external amp)?

hi does pw audio really work ? its unbalanced circuit board. Is it worth buying ? thanks

What to prefer, Hugo 1 or Mojo 2? Talking about only sound quality

what would you recommend for me . i am getting the sony ier z1r for occassional music and heavy gaming. which would provide better imaging and sound stage the chord hugo2 or the mojo 2 . Thanks . yes i said gaming . haha

Notifications crew!

Did I hear correctly there is no Hugo 3 on the horizon? Great review as always but sad no Update 😊

Can You type down the Music You reference to, please. And the cable names.

Ignoring the EQ and price, in the default settings, does the Mojo2 have any sonic advantages over the Hugo2?

Do you think it can drive an LCD-5 without extra amp well?

If used with iems Hidisz S9 Pro runs miles around this

I’m annoyed about the aptx Bluetooth being an Apple TV user - they could have featured aac which I don’t think is supported? Tried it off an Nvidia shield tv and then indeed you can use aptx, but Apple TV still sounds way better and it doesn’t have aptx…

Should take it out of the case when showing a product. Just a tip I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking

You need to link to your stuff. Can’t find “Ermo Audio Dual” and you speak fast with an accent.

lol of course I'm watching this on a sennheiser 650

sound good but, micro usb in devices from chord for that price is just mockery. Nonsense, High end dac with outdated flimsy micro usb which need replacement much faster than type c

I'm so dissatisfied that after buying this toy for 2.5 thousands, it even can't work stable. The battery holds 1-2 hours. Sometimes the hugo just turns off every 10-20 minutes without any adequate reason. The sound itself is good, but there are alternatives under 1000 eur.. The killer feature of this device is portability but with such battery it just doesn't serves as it should. Found too many complains about it on the forums from other people. So it's not just my case. The general advice: request device change through support. Some people wait for 1-2 month and the luckiest got defective device even twice. Please, release working product before starting to sell overpriced cases and cables!

Their odd design puts me off.

oh again this expensive toy device with different colour discoteq lights and glitching menus
