The Hugo TT2 from Chord Electronics represents a significant upgrade over its predecessors, offering 5x the processing power of the original Hugo TT and double that of the Hugo 2. It utilizes a custom-coded Xilinx Artix 7 FPGA with 86x 208MHz cores running a 98,304-tap 16FS WTA 1 filter in a 10-element design for superior audio reconstruction. Key enhancements include a high-power discrete output stage with second-order noise-shaping to reduce distortion, and power delivery via six super capacitors providing peak output of 5A, 9.3V RMS. It supports 768kHz PCM and DSD512 playback, features four user-selectable digital filters and three levels of crossfeed for headphones. Compatible with the M Scaler for further upscaling. Housed in precision machined aluminum with steel ball bearing buttons, available in silver or satin black.
