Chord Hugo聽感搭配暨技術資訊分享（更新TT初步聽感）

I don't know if there are subtle gain differences at the same volume setting between optical and USB affecting my assessment.

I don't know if I just have an insane amount of interference with my LAN network having impact on my USB.

I don't know if the technology in optical has made a sneaky and significant advancement.

But I prefer my MbP TOS out with SN7 to Hugo, over my: Synergistic Research/Nordost Heimdall2/Cardas Clear USB to AP2 + PP to Hugo. It sounds more dynamic, clean, open, and lively - with less distortion.

I don't know if it's this optical cable specifically. I don't know how it compares to the Sysconcept. But the SN7 is better than the other 3 I have (AQ Cinnamon, Monster, Chord stock). And it's built so extremely well.

I have been using USB for a long time on my Mytek and CAPS. Today got an itch to try the SPDIF of my Gigabyte motherboard. Boy was I surprised!

Its hard to admit but I like the using the Toslink more. The sound is more fuller, more organic and the digital artifacts seems to be gone.

Am I hearing it right?

Probably. I use Toslink. I have an expensive USB cable sat around doing nothing these days. I have used my ears, not science, to judge. But I would qualify that this is what I hear in my system only. I can't comment on others.

But I guess the galvanic isolation is an aspect. The criticism of the Toslink Tx/Rx being very jittery is perhaps a tad overblown, given that jitter correction/rejection is now built into some DAC's.

另外雖然HUGO TT尚未正式上市，只要有TT的內部照片就可以由其所使用的FPGA型號猜想與Hugo的差異。Hugo使用的Spartan6的型號為XC6SLX9，由這裏第二頁的比較表可以知道其實Hugo所使用的FPGA是屬於Spartan6的低階款，如果HUGO TT使用同樣的FPGA，那應該可以推論TT的音質與Hugo會是大同小異的，差別大概是在於後端以及更大的電池與超級電容，但本質不會有太大的差異；但如果TT使用了更高階的FPGA那麼就很有可能在音質上有所變化，真是那樣的話那麼HUGO TT就更值得期待了。

目前我的Hugo正在接受劉師傅的手術，改RCA與同軸端子。

狗尾續貂一下，聽過lovelyleica兄以WBT NextGen RCA端子替換過的Hugo，確確實實聽到了改善，主要是細節以及透明度上的進步，感覺更音樂的律動更加鮮明。我自己選的是WBT的銅RCA座，聲音特性理應不同，屆時等Hugo歸來再來分享。至於同軸，反而是我更期待的部分，也待後續分享。
