HUGO TT2…
BEAUTIFUL CASEWORK BY CHIEF DESIGNER, JOHN FRANKS, BUT WITH 5X THE PROCESSING POWER OF THE ORIGINAL HUGO TT AND DOUBLE THAT OF THE MULTI-AWARD-WINNING HUGO 2.
HUGO TT 2 DISTILS OVER 20 YEARS OF DIGITAL DEVELOPMENT BY ROB WATTS AND TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THE VERY LATEST TECHNOLOGY.
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.
ALSO BENEFITS FROM AN UPGRADE FROM A 4-ELEMENT DESIGN TO A 10-ELEMENT DESIGN, WHICH WORKS IN HARMONY WITH THE RADICALLY UPGRADED FPGA AND CODE TO DELIVER UNRIVALLED AUDIO.
NEW HIGH-POWER DISCREET OUTPUT STAGE COUPLED WITH SECOND-ORDER NOISE-SHAPING INTEGRATED BETWEEN THE DAC OUTPUT AND FILTER IS ALSO EMPLOYED TO MASSIVELY REDUCE DISTORTION.
HUGO TT 2 ESCHEWS THE LI-PO BATTERY POWER SUPPLY OF THE ORIGINAL AND USHERS IN SIX SUPER CAPACITORS CAPABLE OF DELIVERING HUGE, LINEAR DYNAMIC CURRENTS WHEN THE SOUND DEMANDS IT WITH PEAK OUTPUT OF 5A, 9.3V RMS.
ALSO BRINGS HOME THE MUCH LOVED FOUR-STAGE USER-SELECTABLE FILTER CONTROLS INTRODUCED WITH HUGO 2 AND RETAINS THE THREE-STAGE USER-SELECTABLE DIGITAL CROSSFEED FUNCTION FOR HEADPHONE USERS WHO WANT TO IMPROVE THE PERCEPTION OF DEPTH, SIMILAR TO THAT OF SPEAKERS.
