Congratulations! on the Hugo TT.
I had the opportunity to hear the Hugo at the Can Jam in Southern California last weekend, and I was impressed. The Hugo DAC is on my short list. I'm sure you will be extremely happy.

What headphones will you be pairing with the Hugo?

Thank You.

For now a Denon D7000... But I'm exploring other options among the usual suspects.

Congrats, this will be great DAC/AMP, having difficulties not to order it but my own HUGO is just a few months old.

Congrats. I'm very interested in your opinion once you get it.

I'm using an iDSD micro and was planning on getting this. Did you consider the Mytek Manhattan or other similarly priced DACs?

Cheers.

Ordered in April, still nothing....Cancelled the order.
Chord keeps citing supplier and production issues.
Hearing about reliability issues... All confidence is gone...very disappointing.

Maybe there is a future for a MHA100 in my mancave setup after all.
