Offered is „Chord Hugo 2“ by Chord Electronics as second-hand device from the category „D/A Converter“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 8392524540 ends on 20.10.2026 at 17:29 o'clock.
It’s a buyer’s market for this category right now: at €1,100, this sits right on the median of recent EUR comps, so it’s a fair ask rather than a steal or a stretch. With the 25th percentile at €1,076 and the 75th at €1,367, the price is comfortably in the normal used range and doesn’t need aggressive haggling unless you can add value by picking up extras.
The Hugo 2 is well regarded for its highly resolving, lively presentation, strong USB performance, and genuinely portable DAC/amp versatility, so a clean example is always easy to justify. At this price, the main upside is simply getting a respected, long-lived piece of Chord kit in good condition; if the battery behavior, accessories, and controls are all solid, this is the kind of listing that makes sense to jump on rather than overthink.
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.
