So i spent a nice time with Rob Watts and John Franks of Chord today. We talked about many things. Some highlights:
* the TT and the 2Qute both have USB inputs that are galvanically isolated, with 2 picofarads separating/cutting the grounds.
* because of this Rob now prefers the USB over the toslink as his favorite input (read: no more need to do things like use the Hugo sd USB input and the Olimex isolator)
* unlike the HD and EX in the Qute series, the 2Qute now uses the same drivers and same chip (UAC2) as the Hugo, that allows driverless lLinux and OSX implementations
* when I asked which of the new Hugo platforms would have better SQ John answered very Frankly (sorry, couldn't resist) that it depends on the setup....that those users like me who have little need for a headphone preamp or digital preamp function (i.e use their own preamp) that the SQ of the 2Qute will come very close to that of the TT. They are simply intended for two different audiences (TT adding a legit remote controlled-preamp amd headphone amp plus state of the art battery power using supercapacitors). Rob added that he worked some magic on the more robust ps in the 2Qute and doubted I would find better sound with an external linear like i did especially with the Qute HD.
Two announcements I am allowed to make:
1) Chord will have a Qute replacement/upgrade program for the 2Qute, but my feeling is that, like many upgrade programs, the Qute owner may rather find better dollars doing a sell, rebuy. Plus then one doesn't own a "hybrid" (new board, old case) a more difficult value prop for resale down the line.
2) Chord has moved the QBD announcement until the Munich Show, when they will be ready to deliver this new generation of Rob's WTA filter technology.

Hugo會無法開機.將燒毀的零件更換後.就可以正常工作
DC 12V的Hugo電源線最好用紅色電氣膠帶標示
(下圖:我桌上有5V.12V.17V.19V共4條DC線性電源線.兩頭全部都有標示)
Hugo的電源座是5.5mmX2.1mm.有的筆電DC頭是5.5mmX2.5mm
雖然無法插入.但是只要瞬間有接觸到.Hugo一樣照樣掛點
內地網友將SOLO耳放的電源 DC 24V.插入Hugo
