Has anyone heard the new Chord Hugo 2? Please share

Caesar, I'm hearing good things but it's not out yet. I'm getting one in for review and they told me at AXPONA that it is three weeks out.

What I do know...It has a much more refined FPGA and they enriched the feature set.

Thanks, Lee! I'm sure it's "better technically", but I hope they don't screw up the sound.

Rarely one finds a product that is so much better than everything in its class - by such a huge margin.

Really we can get yanked into the Ad-fi of the Hugo2 - we have key words like "taps" and "FPGA" that shows a lot of bling - but it's the 20 element pulse array that's going to give the Hugo2 real meaning to your ears.

That said, I love Chord, but in the end I had to walk away from their technology for various reasons.

I hated the Hugo v1. I quite like the Dave and own a Qute EX.
