I just received my Hugo 2 today and am loving it so far, but there's one weird quirk with it that I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced.
The bluetooth connection out of anything other than my iPhone XS sounds great, just as you'd expect. For some reason when it's connected to my iPhone through bluetooth it sounds terrible; it's like a 5 year old bluetooth headphone with insane compression, weird artifacts, and other signal degradation. It's not like that's the end of the world, I can always use it with bluetooth on my laptop, but I was kind of looking forward to being able to use it with my phone.
Hi, in my humble opinion bluetooth and Hugo2 don't make any sense together. You are paying a lot of money for this dac and the reason for that must be the sound quality. I don't think the build or design is that appealing, but that of course is again my opinion. So, why would anyone want to flush that sound quality down the toilet by using bluetooth? Bluetooth is inevitably going to degrade the sound quality of the Hugo2, no matter what you are using it with and you would probably be just as well served with a far cheaper dac if you are going to be using it chiefly with bluetooth.
