Description Freakuence!<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Power Ac! Flat, but the opposite in sound. Chord surrounds, is bizarrely fast and clear. Tight and big in the low end. The TT2 is not a warm dac, it is a dac that puts down a big and precise and rich midrange without cluttering. Here to compare with other dacs. <\/span><\/div>\n
Retail price: 4,995.00<\/span><\/div>\n
Details<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Young! Sometimes people want something different, sometimes very quickly. Didn’t like that one, we are then asked…. No, it doesn’t necessarily work that way. Some people upgrade immediately because they like the performance. Or another opportunity arises here in the shop, resulting in a trade-in. Also, it may not fit nicely into the whole set. Of course, it could also just be that someone is not satisfied. <\/span><\/div>\n

Background information<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
The Chord Hugo TT2 was designed by Rob Watts, chief designer at Chord Electronics. The DAC uses an advanced FPGA chipset with a proprietary WTA filter and offers signal processing up to 768kHz PCM and DSD512. The enclosure is CNC-machined from solid aluminum for optimal shielding and vibration damping. All components are audiophile-grade and assembled in the UK. <\/span><\/div>\n
Brand history<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
The brand was founded in the 1980s in the United Kingdom, with a focus on technology originally developed for the aerospace industry. Its founder, Rob Watts, is an electronics engineer with a background in advanced digital signal processing. His expertise in this field led to the development of a number of products using Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technology, a technique that at the time was mainly used in specialty sectors. <\/p>\n

The choice of this technology was not common in consumer electronics, but proved crucial to the performance of the products that followed. Rob Watts worked with John Franks, who has a long history in the technical and manufacturing aspects of the company. Together they laid the groundwork for a series of products known for their technical precision and reliability, without deviating from their original goal of providing accurate digital signal processing. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
