| Chord Hugo ? Guys, I know much more about this Dac and its development than you can imagine. I do not speak out of turn. If you do enough reading about to, other than the HF thread, you will understand and yes MORE taps are in the works.Let me make it clear no... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Is this the long overdue upgrade to DSD128? That should have happened more than a year ago. What is the hold up? Or did it happen alredy and I am unaware? | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house L4 review at PFOhttp://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue73/lampizator.htm | |
| Chord Hugo ? Oh and many people are tweaking trying to beef up the thin sound. Its an underground obsession caused by the battery power supply. That will be corrected when the desktop versions come. We can Hynes/Teddy P the Qute form factor and the QDB factor ... | |
| Chord Hugo ? DTC, I have a Qute HD soon to be upgraded to an EX, so I own both Chord and Lampi and the Lampi L4 is the better Dac so far, especially with DSD.Hugo has great promise, but until they do the Qute and QBD version with the huge tap lengths, we are y... | |
| Chord Hugo ? Hugo has great tech, but so-so implementation. Battery limits the dynamics.When the Desktop Hugo comes out with waaay more taps, then we can start talking. It is reportedly a bit thin sounding now. Heck one hugo owner says he prefers his Qute with... | |
| Chord Hugo ? Better than a Lampi L7??/ Who said so? I never saw that on the thread. AL owns the Hugo and rates it below the Direct Stream which is below the LAMPI L5!I have heard favourable comparisons of the L7 to Trinity! | |

| Best natural, musical DAC under $3K? BMC PureDac? | |
| DAC significantly better than a w4s DAC2-DSDse? You dont HAVE to roll tubes in the lampizator and even if you want to, on a Lampi Level 4, the typical NOS tube used would cost less than $30 delivered via Ebay. I scored some top tungsram locall for $10.Lampi DSD is freaking awesome and I have ye... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Oh and except for DHTs, (no info on those yet), Dac tubes are run at 20% so they last for like 10 years no problem and consume like 20w, so you can keep them on for long stretches. Turning them on and off often is what shortens their lives. This i... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Relax Matt,I am enjoying your thread and all the posts. People will have different opinions and that is a GOOD thing. Keep on trucking. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD And GrannyR, its not a knock against Steve Nugent, who makes excellent products. However, personal taste varies a lot and I can see why people can choose one thing over another. One caution I will repeat from AGear is that some equipment you only ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD GrannyR,Except for L7, the Lamp Dacs run the tubes at only 20-25% of rated capacity, so they should last 10+ years. Tube aging is NOT an issue. Indeed at about 20w output, you can leave them on indefinitely without a big energy bill and they will ... | |
