Chord Hugo Re-Examined

[livelistenlearn]

The replacement batteries can only be found from UK sellers...

 

Are you sure?

 

If you know a seller that can ship the batteries worldwide, please let me know (my Hugo is out of warranty).

 

Blame IATA, if the Enix LiBs cannot be shipped directly to you/your country. If so:

 

 

• Why not address the issue directly with Chord Electronics?
  
• Perhaps, a query on head-fi to the makers: John Franks and/or Rob Watts?
  
• For the sake of (many) Hugo owners worldwide… some of whom cannot find the replacement batteries and some of whom prefer a more affordable DIY approach?
  

 

Do bear in mind that we are discussing a scenario of existing customers seeking to buy replaceable batteries (spare parts)... and not claiming replacements under warranty.

 

Do note that as per #620, Chord is responsive.

 

There is no volume bypass mode in Hugo, the manual is misleading and Rob Watts has discussed this in great length at Head Fi forum. In fact, the reason the setting is 3Vrms is because Rob requirements during Hugo design. There is a table provided by Chord in Head Fi that shows the voltage output for each volume colors.

 

 

• What then is the mode that engages when one follows those instructions stated in the Hugo manual?
  
• Does it trigger an output of 3VRMS (light blue/violet volume light) on your Hugo as opposed to the default 0.3VRMS (green) from a normal start-up?

hi to all,

 

i have posted here a copy of a question i submitted on the 2qute thread on headfi. the reason being i understand the hugo is also used as a standalone dac and has a 3v output. thanks to all.

 

 

HELP NEEDED.

 

Im using an earmaxpro tube amp. like most amps as i understand it it is designed to accept a 2V line in from a cd player, dac etc. I would love to upgrade my dac from modimultibit to 2qute however i do not have the luxury of auditioning equipment. would i have any issues using 2qute with my earmaxpro which as far as i can tell was designed for a 2V line input or am i making a big deal from nothing here. i am in a state of limbo here not wanting to spend 1k then finding my tube amp can't cope with a 3V in. thanks to all.

My Psvane tc5 only works with Hugo and Hugo TT when the volume is dialled down. Too high overloads it.

Have you contacted the manufacturer of your amp? This seems like a question they should easily be able to answer.
