Was purchased new from Apollo Hifi in Sydney in June 2014. Original invoice will be provided.
Never used as a nomad device, always used powered by AC in a dry and smoke free environment.

Verdict
There’s no doubt the Hugo is the best-sounding DAC and headphone amp we’ve heard at this price, and when you add in its portability it becomes a quite superb proposition.
The Chord Hugo is nothing less than a stunning achievement – a multi-talented device that will transform your music listening so much you’ll wonder what you ever did without it.
