For me the Chord (in this case a Code X streamer, Similar DAC to Hugo) and the Devialet were the two I liked best. I think it would be fascinating to hear the Hugo through the Devialet.
Yeah, I thought about that but I guess the Devialet will just resample the analog output back to digital again (but at a lower sample rate) and lengthen the signal path. Might be an interesting experiment though. I'll let you know how it sounds.
Gonna be very interested to hear what the Devialet sounds like when I finally get my turntable setup. Digitizing the input from a phono cartridge sounds strange to my old fashioned hifi sensibilities, but I've heard rave reviews so I'm excited to give it a try. Guess even Linn is doing this these days with their Exact systems.
