   这是自接触音频设备以来,第一次来到上海参观音响展。收获还是蛮多的。虽然展区里有好一部分品牌是平时没接触过的,但从场面及参观人群情况看来,上海音展在当地也是蛮有影响力的一场活动。

   走进上海音展,有几分熟悉,笔者从2005年开始参观广州音展,基本每年都会去走走。上海音展和之前的广州白天鹅音展,及后来的广州东方宾馆音展有着相类似的地方,比如展出的场地,基本都以客房作为展示场所,每一间客房一个参展商,当然,也有一个房间挤满了几个代理品牌的。但,给笔者感觉有点拥挤,毕竟房间的面积就有限。而且宾馆的客房在布局上,对音响系统展示,其实并不完全能够发挥出理想效果。

   周五晚上赶到上海,周六早上开始参观展会。但在扫点之前,笔者先去看了DITA为他们代理的高端品牌CHORD搞的一场新品发布会。接下来的内容,先为大家分享一下这场DITA举办的CHORD HUGO TT发布会的一些实况。

   这次首曝的新品,是CHORD的新作:HUGO TT。这款新品,个头比HUGO还大,定位更偏向于台式耳机系统。当然,素质及售价也在HUGO之上。




   发布会于周六上午10点钟开始,活动还没开始,就看到多个老面孔出现了,当中有资深烧友,也有媒体圈的朋友。很荣幸地见到了当今国内两大中文耳机论坛的高层。


   发布会先由DITA的领导Danny Tam简单介绍DITA代理的CHORD产品的情况,然后接下来的时间就由CHORD老板John介绍这次发布会推出的新品HUGO TT。








   以下是HUGO TT官方的一些资料,及HUGO TT诞生的故事。

Advanced sample rate capability
The Hugo TT is ready to take advantage of today’s advanced studio-master-quality (DXD) music files allowing music lovers to experience music in true high definition, along with the best possible reproduction of CD-quality music. Hugo TT supports up to 32-bit/384kHz audio via coax and USB, and 24-bit/192kHz over optical, plus DSD64 on all inputs and DSD128 via coax or USB (all via DoP).  

In a key upgrade over the original Hugo, the Hugo TT benefits from a high-quality asynchronous B-type USB input which covers both the SD and HD USB input stream. With two further digital inputs: a (new) BNC coaxial and optical (TOSLink), any connected component with a digital output can benefit from the Hugo TT’s advanced sound quality.  

Bluetooth
To fully integrate with today’s digitally stored media, the new Hugo TT also has A2DP Bluetooth capability and uses a custom-made module with the aptX codec to feed a digital signal directly into the DAC circuitry, so even without cables, music can still be enjoyed.

Spartan 6 FPGA
The Hugo TT retains the same high-performance Spartan 6 FPGA that enabled Hugo to redefine the DAC genre in 2014. It has the same specification and measured performance as its mobile sibling, a device that “broke all records” for dynamic range in leading UK hi-fi magazine, Hi-Fi World, in the summer of 2014.

Supercapacitors
Being a home-orientated device, the Hugo TT has been designed to run continuously from the supplied charger, however Chord’s engineers have also improved the battery and added Supercap energy storage, a technology seen in F1 where supercacitors back-up the car’s batteries by sharing the load and charge demands, thereby protecting them. They serve a similar purpose in the Hugo TT, extending the battery life as well as improving dynamics and demanding transients in recorded music.

Chord Electronics’ founder and owner John Franks on the new Hugo TT
“The idea for the Hugo TT came when we realised that Hugo’s performance was such that many customers were using the device as a reference desktop unit, when really it was primarily designed for mobile use. So, Hugo was not optimised for use in home systems: a minority of audiophile cables with the very largest RCA and USB terminations sometimes proved difficult to accommodate and the shorter range of the original mobile Hugo’s Bluetooth pairing distance could sometimes cause problems in larger homes.  

“We noted all the suggestions from desktop users and we definitely took notice when people indicated they loved the sound of Hugo and would buy one in an instant if it had additional XLR outputs, greater input visibility and a remote control! So, we set about making a people’s Hugo to address as many of these wishes as possible. We also doubled the battery storage and added 10,000,000 microfarads of supercapacitor back-up across the batteries. None of these features would have been possible within Hugo’s existing dimensions, but in the larger Hugo TT, they are all comfortably inside.”
