Prepare to be amazed by the radical transformation of Hugo TT 2, meticulously redesigned by Chief Designer John Franks. With 5 times the processing power of its predecessor, the original Hugo TT, and double that of the award-winning Hugo 2, this masterpiece harnesses over 20 years of digital development by Rob Watts, utilizing the latest cutting-edge technology.
Delving deeper into its technological prowess, Hugo TT 2 employs a powerful Xilinx Artix 7 FPGA, custom-coded by Chord Electronics’ very own Rob Watts, with an astounding 86x 208MHz cores operating in parallel. This advanced FPGA enables the creation of a groundbreaking 16FS WTA 1 filter with an impressive 98,304-taps, surpassing the 49,152-tap capability of its acclaimed sibling, Hugo 2. Moreover, Hugo TT 2 features an upgraded 10-element design, perfectly synchronized with the enhanced FPGA and code, resulting in unparalleled audio reproduction.
To minimize distortion, Hugo TT 2 incorporates a brand-new high-power discreet output stage and integrates second-order noise-shaping between the DAC output and filter. Furthermore, improvements have been made to the power delivery system. Departing from the Li-Po battery power supply of its predecessor, Hugo TT 2 adopts six super capacitors capable of delivering massive linear dynamic currents when the music demands it, with a peak output of 5A and 9.3V RMS.
