Angeboten wird „Hugo 2“ von Chord Electronics als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „D/A Wandler“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 8472513671 endet am 26.09.2026 um 12:11 Uhr.
Chord’s Hugo 2 still has a strong reputation as a compact, highly resolving DAC, and at €900 this looks like a strong deal versus the recent EUR comps: it sits well below the €1,053 25th percentile and far under the €1,254 median. That places it in bargain territory rather than merely “good value.”
For a buyer, the appeal is straightforward: the Hugo 2 is admired for its detail, timing, and clean, vivid presentation, and it remains a sought-after portable/desktop DAC if you want serious sound in a small box. A clean good-condition unit at this level is worth moving on, especially if it includes the original power supply, cables, and packaging.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Chord Electronics, a British high-fidelity powerhouse, traces its roots to the aviation industry. Founded in 1989 by John Franks, a former Marconi Avionics engineer, the company emerged from his early 1980s innovations in ultra-reliable, high-frequency switching power supplies for aircraft electronics. Initially too costly for commercial viability, the designs became feasible with advancing components, launching Chord from its Kent headquarters in a renovated pumphouse that remains its manufacturing heart.
The brand excels in premium amplifiers and digital-to-analog converters (DACs), blending Franks' analog prowess with digital expertise from FPGA specialist Rob Watts. Early power amplifiers quickly won acclaim from professional studios like the BBC, Abbey Road, and Skywalker Sound, establishing credibility before shifting focus to consumer hi-fi. Iconic products like the Hugo and Mojo DACs exemplify their boundary-pushing approach, alongside integrated amps and streamers, all handcrafted in the UK without compromise on power, precision, or musicality.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Chord commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its uncompromising engineering, aerospace-grade reliability, and bold innovation. Independent and proudly British, it sets benchmarks in transparency and dynamics, attracting buyers who demand reference-level performance over mass-market concessions.
