5 Powering up and charging

To switch the unit on, press and hold the power button. The device will perform a series of start-up

checks and both the power button and viewing window LEDs will cycle through a range of colours.

Once ﬁnished, the unit will click, indicating it is ready to use.

To charge the device, connect the supplied 2 A Micro USB wall charger to a power source and then to

the Micro USB charging port on the unit. The power button’s colour indicates the unit’s charging status

when on charge, and battery level percentage at other times; use the colour charts below and opposite

as a guide. A full charge is reached in approximately eight hours (approx) with the supplied 2 A charger.

Note, charging times will be elongated considerably with lower current chargers. A minimum 1 A charger

is required.

It is possible to charge the unit and enjoy playback at the same time, plus the unit can be left connected

to its wall charger at all times if desired. In this mode, after 24 hours of charging, the device

automatically enters Intelligent Desktop Mode, which manages power eciently. Use the table below for

charge status colours:

6 Connectivity

The Hugo 2 beneﬁts from several digital inputs, including Micro USB, optical, coaxial, and for

convenience, Bluetooth. The coaxial mini-jack input also supports ‘Dual data mode’ (with a dedicated

cable), for use with the Hugo M Scaler (upscaler), enabling 768 kHz ﬁles to be input as two separate (L

and R) 384 kHz data streams.

The device oers RCA analogue outputs, plus two headphone outputs: 3.5 mm and 6.35 mm (1/4-inch).

7 Volume and sample rate

The volume level is controlled using the top-mounted wheel (up/down) and displayed using colour as

indicated below. Before playback, ensure that the volume level is at the lowest possible setting (rotate

downwards) to avoid possible hearing or equipment damage.

MIN MAX

The Hugo 2’s volume can be preset (to a 3 V output) for connection to ampliﬁers etc. Preset volume

mode can be initiated by pressing the X-PHD button when the device is ﬁrst switched on. The volume

wheel colour will then change to purple to indicate the mode is active. The device ‘remembers’ that

present volume mode has been selected until it is deactivated. To deactivate ﬁxed volume mode, lower

the volume manually OR switch the device o. The Hugo2 will refer to the previously user-set volume

when powered on, however, ﬁxed volume mode will have to be manually selected each time the device is

powered on.

NOTE WARNING: Do not activate preset volume mode when using headphones, damage to your

equipment and/or hearing may occur.

7.1 Sample rate

The sample rate of the digital ﬁle being played is indicated using coloured LEDs and can be viewed

through the viewing window on top of the unit. Use the colour chart below as a guide.

Note, both PCM (44.1 kHz-768 kHz/16-bit to 32-bit) and DSD (Native DSD playback up to DSD512), both

with automatic sample rate switching, are supported.
