It’s as a super high-technology DAC that Hugo TT2 is presented – and usually talked out – using Chord Electronics own and unique digital-to-analogue convertor (DAC) designed by Rob Watts. M Scaler is £3495 and I talk about this separately on following pages just for clarity. However, it will drive any power amplifier. It has a partnering 100 Watt power amplifier that you’ll see in many website shots, TTOBY, price £2899. The TT means it is a table-top version of Hugo, more expensive and without batteries. Hugo TT2 is priced at £3995 – a substantial sum. Could Hugo TT2 drive loudspeakers, slashing system cost? More later! We drove a pair of Tannoy Westminsters – large horns – from a portable Mojo in our January 2016 issue. Chord Electronics explain there are discrete power amplifiers in Hugo TT2 that can drive loudspeakers direct, especially sensitive horn loudspeakers. Notes in the handbook allude to the ‘power’ of Hugo TT2’s audio outputs. And that’s just what I found when reviewing Hugo TT2 with M Scaler. Products from Chord Electronics are always fascinating – even exciting, sometimes confusing. Noel Keywood listens in – then adds the new M Scaler for a few taps more. Chord Electronics Hugo TT2 DAC now comes with an astonishing 98,304 taps.
