Sampling Rate And Bit Depth

Ever wonder how those ones and zeros on your computer magically transform into the rich melodies that fill your room?


The secret lies in a tiny device called a Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC). Think of it as a translator, taking the digital code of your music and meticulously sculpting it back into a smooth, analog wave that your speakers can understand. But just like a sculptor needs the right tools, achieving audio nirvana with a DAC depends on two key factors: sampling rate and bit depth.


Sampling Rate:

Imagine your favourite song as a complex rollercoaster track. The sampling rate refers to how often the DAC takes measurements of this digital track, measured in kHz (kilohertz) or thousands of times per second. A higher sampling rate, like 96 kHz, is like taking a ton of pictures of the track, capturing every twist and turn with incredible detail. Lower rates, like the standard 44.1 kHz used in CDs, are like taking snapshots at a theme park – fun, but you might miss some of the subtler details that make the ride truly exhilarating.


Bit Depth:

Now, think about the sculptor's tools. Bit depth refers to the precision of each measurement the DAC takes. Imagine the number of colours available to the sculptor. With higher bit depth (e.g., 24 bits compared to 16 bits), each measurement can capture a wider range of values. This allows the DAC to recreate subtler variations in the sound wave, resulting in richer and more nuanced audio. It's like having a broader colour palette for building a more detailed and lifelike sculpture of the sound.


EXPERIENCE THE BEST SOUND QUALITY

Enjoy the highest quality sound possible with the Chord Hugo TT2. It supports files ranging from DSD 64 to DSD 512 as well as a wide range of PCM frequencies including 44.1kHz, 176.4kHz and 768kHz. The powerful Xilinx Artix 7 FPGA has been custom coded to create an advanced 16FS WTA 1 filter with 98,304-taps. In comparison, most other DACs have a 256-tap filter. It also features a 10-element design which gives you unparalleled clarity.

LESS DISTORTION, LOUDER SOUND

A high-power discreet output stage and second-order noise-shaping integration have been fitted in between the DAC output and filter. This has an impact in reducing distortion. The three-stage user-selectable digital crossfeed function improves the perception of depth and turns your headphone into your very own personal speaker. You also get the four-stage user-selectable filter controls that were first introduced with the Hugo 2.

The end game dac

Got the black version. It is slightly heavier and thicker than m scaler. The dac uses chord proprietary algorithm for filtering the quantization noise. The first impression even before any burn in, with my open back dynamic headphones is the ease of music. Music just smoothly flows, the singers have all the delicate details of voice modulation, breath and even lip movement but without any harshness whatsoever. the best part you don't want to stop midway to any song or fast forward. Bass has so much more texture than any other dac. The overall frequency response is neutral to warmish side. It takes all kind of digital inputs. With dual BNC inputs it takes upto 768khz input from chord m scaler and sound quality improved further and the combo becomes one of the best dac at any price, it is so good. It has two 6.3mm headphone out and one 3.5mm headphone out. XLR and RCA out are on the back. XLR out is very powerful and can drive efficient speakers at good listening levels. since it has digital volume control, it acts as pre and can feed power amp directly. All the controls are extremely intuitive. All in all one of the best dac available for sound quality in market at any price aided by plethora of features. This itself is already end game thing but with Hugo m scaler it breaches the barrier of even end game, it is so good. must must have for all audio enthusiast looking for ultimate in audio reproduction.

Phew! What a rush!

It’s been a bare five odd hours of usage and I’ve already been moved to tears. Tears of Joy and ecstasy. My previous DAC the Pontus II has that quality, but this Chord combo of the Hugo TT2 and M scaler takes it to an earthless realm. Their detail extraction is obsessive and paranoid. It is unsparing, brutal, pacy, yet smooth. Now I hear the small change in voice when the singer’s face moves in front of the mic. I can’t say whether it’s a quality to have or not, but it is there. Many tracks have elevated themselves in layers and texture and many have come a crashing for being just so sloppy. If you value precision, detail and a sound that’s been created with utmost desire for perfection, go for it. I love it and I think it’ll be in my system for many years to come.

Nothing makes us happier than knowing you loved your purchase, we hope you had a comfortable shopping experience, thank you for the great review and ratings!
