Hugo with SN2

Zachris posted:

I consider changing my Ndac (classic model) to a Chord Hugo. I'm impressed to the Hugo's sound with my Supernait 2 as I've listened to it at home.

I was wondering the battery and charging thing. Can I keep power cable always attached or does this damage the converter in long term?

There are tv, cd player and laptop permanently connected to it.

Yes.

I thought Chord recommended that you unplug the mains cable from time to time and let the battery discharge (which is what I do - from time to time - with mine)...

That said, I just checked the FAQs on their site:

Is it ok to leave Hugo plugged into the charger all the time?

Yes you can leave Hugo plugged into the charger. When the batteries are fully charged it will enter a low current trickle charging mode protecting the batteries from excessive charge.

I asked Chord direct and they confirmed that it is ok to leave it plugged in and switched on all the time but that you should occasionally unplug to allow the batteries to discharge,
