The Chord Hugo TT (Table Top) is a reference-class desktop DAC and headphone amplifier designed for audiophiles seeking uncompromising digital audio performance. Building on the success of the original Hugo, the TT version features a larger chassis, improved battery and supercapacitor energy storage, and a powerful Xilinx Spartan 6 FPGA running a 26,368-tap WTA filter. It supports up to 32-bit/384kHz PCM and DSD128 playback, offering exceptional detail, dynamics, and musicality. The Hugo TT is equipped with multiple digital inputs (USB, coaxial, optical, Bluetooth), balanced and unbalanced analog outputs, and a robust headphone amplifier capable of driving demanding headphones. Its precision-machined aluminum casework, dot matrix display, and remote control add to its premium appeal. The Hugo TT is now discontinued, succeeded by the Hugo TT 2.
