I'm wondering what the OG Hugo is like compared to the mojo 2. Similar prices now
A few posts have asked this question.I'm wondering what the OG Hugo is like compared to the mojo 2. Similar prices now
For context, I was about to order a Hugo but then the Mojo was released, so I bought a Mojo and have never heard a Hugo.The majority of use will be office desk, so battery is only needed when I take it home over weekends. Do both bypass batteries when plugged in and used at the desk?
Is the Hugo more or as musical as the mojo 2? That's my main priority.
Bit overkill for my use though. My main concern is the mojo 2 to be able to push the Ibasso SR3 and hd700 to their best. Not just in volume. I tend the listen fairly quietly and wind it up for the special songs 90% desktop use and take it home for weekendsDon't forget that Chord are dropping the Alto (dedicated desktop headphone amp/dac - ir also has Bluetooth which makes it good for multimedia, eg watching a film late at night when the missus is sleeping) soon & it'll be around $3000 equivalent in the UK.
I have a Mojo 2 & absolutely love it as my portable & even main source for IEM's, but it won't get the most out of a hard to drive pair oh headphones.
Honestly I think the Alto is going to see the Hugo series drop as the odd kid in the middle... it's a bit big as a portable device & although it's more powerful than a Mojo 2, it won't be a patch on the Alto. So Mojo 2 on the move/Alto at home is absolutely perfect for me... and will be for a lot of others.
The Alto is also absolutely gorgeous...
