Are you meaning Oppo Sonica DAC? The 205 is a universal player with DAC input. Can’t speak for the Hugo but I own a 205, but my guess is the Chord is much better. Both my Cambridge 851C and RME DAC are better to my ears over my Oppo, and the RME much better. The Oppo is still a nice player just for the money there is better if you’re only using as a DAC.
