£995
Chord Hugo TT
£2,995
一千英鎊跟三千英鎊的分別啊,真的相差那麼遠嗎?Rob Watts 說不呢:

the 2Qute now uses the same drivers and same chip (UAC2) as the Hugo
the SQ of the 2Qute will come very close to that of the TT
除了不足一百人民幣的那一對『超級』電容,平衡輸出,和內建耳擴加四顆電池,2Qute 的 USB 輸入跟 Hugo TT 的改進是一樣的:

2Qute key features
- Galvanically isolated Class 2 USB input up to 384kHz
基於 2Qute 的優良設計,電源方面亦毋須花費不必要的投資:

The initial 2Qute listening tests revealed the mains powered 2Qute sounded very similar to a battery powered Hugo.
I spent much of the afternoon doing my standard listening tests, and could not consistently find a preference - I was struggling to reliably hear a difference. When you are struggling to hear a difference, its usually because that there is no difference! There was no consistent difference in sound-stage, instrument separation and tonal balance. So as a sanity check, I thought I would test it against the original Qute - and immediately I could easily hear the difference - sound-stage was much deeper, instrument separation was better, and it was much smoother with the battery. All SQ hallmarks of reduced RF noise.
So don't bother connecting up "better" PSU's with 2Qute, as at best it will sound the same, at worst you will damage 2Qute - some of these units have too high an OP voltage, destroying the protection circuits of the DAC.
多麼絕頂聰明的策略,先引進三倍價格的東西。便宜的 2Qute 就最好慢慢來,雖然 Rob Watts 說過兩者的音質很接近。
兩千英鎊的差價怎麼花?Cavalli Audio Liquid Carbon 只賣 599 鎂加運費,那耳擴有平衡輸出呀。餘下的一千多英鎊也很好花,真的不愁沒有好選擇。
當然那二千英鎊就是買 Hugo TT 的方便,三千英鎊的投資也可以放進背包裡,大前提是要注意出沒地點的治安,武林高手則問題不大。

這可不歐
底下是引用j大轉錄的TT在日本的介紹
請注意第三條, 新的電路板設計, 當初就是衝者這條介紹, 才會對TT抱持很多幻想
--------------------------
Hugo TT 新機能:
・容量を2 倍に拡張した8800mAh の大容量バッテリーを搭載
・電源部には10F(ファラッド)のスーパーキャパシタを搭載
・Hugo で培ったノウハウを巧みに応用した基板を新設計
---------------------------
雖然chord也不算說謊, 可是給人觀感不好是事實
的確是有新基板, 但核心電路板根本沒變, 怎麼講...就是很賊的感覺
未來有個人會需要你


雖然 A&K 的員工亦無法接受那些天文數字,可是事實勝於雄辯:

clearer than hugo by about 7 %, more separation between instruments , black background which allow you to hear more detail, richer sound than hugo but far behind Chord QBD76 HDSD.
3 - Chord Hugo : Tonality : 92 - Bass performance : 93 - Mids : 92 . treble : 93 - Soundstage : 93 - Separation : 91 - Dynamic sound : 93 - Detail : 95 - Tiny detail : 92 - Vocals : 93 - Emotion : 91 - Realistic sound : 94 - Musicality : 95 .
Still the best portable dac/amp , can be used as a desktop dac , very clear , warmth sound , sometimes it' sound clourless .

蠻有趣的是
後來有用家表示他在筆電上(使用電池 跟 直接差沖電器)會聽到不同的音質
後來Rob表示那很有可能是住家環境的RF noise影響到擴大機的部分
HeadFi
後來也有看到有用家說到使用不同的電源供應器真的會改變聲音
我可能等ifi 出了DC變壓器來試看看
