It certainly is hideous - and I speak as a Hugo owner! All that ludicrously expensive and wasteful casework must add a lot of cost and very little value - just like the Linn machined from the solid stuff. Pity! Still fancy having a listen to one though. Which reminds me - anyone heard a hugo TT by any chance?

Surely that surround is just a stand, is this the QBD replacement. What on earth is it

I thought it was a joke. Hugo has a kinda, well I don't know, eloquent and endearing up market sort of name. Dave, jeez its like your mate jumping out of the back of your builders van.

 

No offence to Daves or builders or in fact vans intended.

Digital Analogue Visually Eccentric

Posted on: 14 May 2015 by analogmusic

it isn't exactly a looker, but I'll bet it sounds very fine

Designed A Vice Evidently

Disirable  Atractive  Very Entelligent

How did they get from the Hugo TT to this.

Inevitably at some point, while in the pub for example, you'll be talking to someone random, get on to the topic of music and possibly hifi, and you'll hear 'Ah, yeah, my mate's well into hifi, he's got a B&O R2D2, it's like the best you can get'.  I would not be too embarrassed to challenge that, mentioning in the process, a Chord Hugo.  Saying 'Well, I've got a Chord Dave'?  I think I'd just keep quiet, as I often..er....don't.

7995 GBP !!!!!

 

Ahhhh the taste of money.....

My wife said don't care if 8000 GBP or 800 GBP she can't stand the sight of it.

After calling it pig ugly on Facebook I've been sniffily advised the the really hideous bit is a stand and the actual dac is only slightly fugly

Digital analogue veritas extremis or something similar. I used to have a hamster called Dave, don't think it was an acronym though
