DISPLAY DIMMING:
For darker
environments, bright LEDs may
present a challenge, therefore,
Hugo TT 2 offers two brightness
settings that can be toggled
between within the settings
menu;
Full – DIM1
: Absolute brightness,
designed for well-lit rooms.
Low – DIM2
: Low brightness,
perfect for dimly lit
environments.

GALVANIC ISOLATION:
Galvanic isolation
involves isolating the
power rails of the data USB input,
allowing for greater sonic perfor-
mance. The Hugo TT 2 features
a Class 2 Type-B USB input with
this protection. No special at-
tention or cables are required to
allow it to however, the USB +5V
VBUS must be connected and
powered, as the USB decoder
device is powered from this line.
SETTINGS MEMORY:
The
Hugo TT 2 remembers
previous settings, includ-
ing volume and filters, even when
powered down (or with the power
supply removed). You do not have
to perform any special actions.
SUPERCAPACITOR EN-
ERGY STORAGE:
The Hugo TT 2 uses
a bank of six supercapacitors
within the power supply unit. The
supercapacitors are capable of
delivering huge linear dynamic
currents with a peak output of 5A
and 9.3V RMS.
Therefore, please respect the
output power of Hugo TT 2 and,
once all equipment is correctly
connected, gently increase the
volume until sufficient. Never
overload a device with power.

CROSSFEED:
Crossfeed is a form
of digital processing that blends
the left and right channels of a
stereo recording to achieve a
speaker-like presentation during
headphone-listening. It is also
a separately configured option
when not in Headphone Mode.
The Hugo TT 2 has four available
modes of Crossfeed, shown as
XFD
on the display:
XFD0:
No crossfeed.
XFD1:
Minimal crossfeed.
XFD2:
Moderate crossfeed.
XFD3:
Broad crossfeed.

FILTER:
The Hugo TT 2 has the
ability to alter the way in which
it processes and filters the
incoming audio data, which, in
turn, has a multi-faceted effect
on the presentation of audio.
These modes can be especially
useful with DSD recordings.
FIL1 – Incisive neutral:
the default
filtering characteristic; the
absolute reference.
FIL2 – Incisive neutral with
HF roll-off:
contains the
same fundamental filtering
characteristics of FIL1, however,
the HF filter is intended to
remove the HF noise from HD
(88.2 to 768 kHz) recordings.
FIL3 – Warm:
a secondary
filtering characteristic for the
Hugo TT 2 with a subtle warming
tonality.
FIL4 – Warm with HF roll-off:
contains the same fundamental
filtering characteristics of FIL3,
however, the HF filter is intended
to remove the HF noise from HD
(88.2 to 768 kHz) recordings.
