Popular Post eternaloptimist Posted November 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 23, 2020 I have a Chord Hugo TT2 and a T+A DAC8 DSD.... I bought the TT2 when the power supply on the T+A DAC8 died a couple of months ago. Will finally get the repaired and serviced unit back from T+A Germany (!) this coming Friday. The T+A DAC8 DSD is a lovely, lovely DAC - either PCM or DSD. I bought it within 6 months or release. I tend to feed it DSD from Roon or HQPlayer+Roon if listening to high quality recordings. However, I find the TT2 a little "sweeter". It seems less "fussy" with what its fed. Following a lot of experimentation, I now stick with PCM and the Chord filters. A bonus is less processing "overhead" when running Audiolense room correction filters (this is amazing software!) as no DSD conversion required. Don't forget... the TT2 is significantly more expensive than the T+A DAC8 DSD. It is likely that I will sell the T+A DAC 8 DSD (part of the agreement with my wife when buying the TT2 - given the cost!). I am not sure of the level of interest, though. Just my 2 cents.

eternaloptimist Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 @Gavin1977. Sorry, has been crazy busy here.... haven't had a chance to do a direct comparison of the Hugo TT2 and T+A DAC8 DSD. Will likely set up in the new year when the rest of the family are away for a week!
