Chord Hugo : measurements ?
« on: December 06, 2014, 11:22:50 AM »

Hi Pyrates.

I've currently a Chord Hugo for testing purpose. i've several questions for you ;)

When the Hugo is settled to the DAC mode with a fixed ouput on both RCA and headphone output the Output Level seem stronger than my Octave's one. From what I read , both Dacs should have the same output power ( 2/2,1 VRMS) and I shouldn't hear any difference when i change from one to another . In fact (and if I'm not mad) The Hugo sounds louder and I need to lower the volume on the Sonett.

Did someone measured it here or there ?

I spoke to Matt at Chord, he wrote Chord's Hugo manual, and it's not specified, just says line level. But it is indeed 0dBFS = 3V RMS for the pre-set level.

Definitely indeed. This Thing is a Joke and I never forget the reaction of my friend when he discovered he could'nt plug his Spiral Ears SE5's (angled) jack in the Hugo HO.

I've currently the Ultrasone performance 860 and 880 and the Hugo for testing Purpose..... Reviewing is not always a funny job...
