Hugo TT 2 with beautiful new casework by Chief Designer, John Franks. Hugo TT 2 distils over 20 years of digital development by Rob Watts and takes advantage of the very latest technology.

It delivers radically improved technical specifications and measurements across the board and exhibits drastic sonic benefits over its predecessor with 768kHz PCM and DSD 512 playback. Hugo TT 2 sets a new benchmark in table top audio, only being eclipsed by DAVE.

Delving deeper, in comparison to the 256-tap filters that traditional chip DACs may run at, Hugo TT 2’s beating heart is a powerful Xilinx Artix 7 FPGA, custom-coded by Chord Electronics’ Rob Watts, with 86x 208MHz cores running in parallel to create an advanced 16FS WTA 1 filter with 98,304-taps, radically upgraded FPGA and code to deliver unrivalled audio.

Hugo TT 2 has four-stage user-selectable filter controls

Hugo TT 2 can be upgraded at any time with the addition of M Scaler, our 1M-tap digital upscaling device.
