Award Winning Chord HUGO2 DAC / Preamp / Portable

Superb sounding Swiss army knife DAC that also is portable.   Fully featured with modern connectivity (USB, wireless AptX, optical, and S/PDIF), volume control, remote control, and battery operation for quietness or portability.   Will play high resolution PCM and DSD files.  The headphone amplifier is top notch and worthy of the best headphones.  

The Hugo2 can be the heart of wonderful system when used as a  DAC / remote control preamp.     

Recent move into a smaller house forced consolidation of two systems - both using Hugo2s.   The black unit is listed but I also have a silver unit if you prefer.
    
Comes with all original accessories and a much lower noise wall power supply.
