Hugo Leather Case

The Hugo has quickly established itself as the definitive DAC/headphone amplifier for both home and mobile use. Now, Hugo customers can protect their device and house a digital audio player or cell phone, in the new Hugo Leather Case. Following a lengthy consultation process with owners, retailers and distributors, the design has been carefully finessed over many months at Chord Electronics HQ Available in an exquisite black leather or natural tan, the Hugo Leather Case is the perfect accessory for any Hugo owner and offers protection both in the home and on the move.

The Hugo Leather Case is made from very high-quality durable leather and has been designed to allow full access to Hugo controls, in/outputs and LED indicators. Full provision has been made for source components, too: the Hugo Leather Case uses a quad system of durable elasticated webbing straps with tough Velcro terminations, to securely hold phones and digital audio players to the case. The clever design allows direct access to touchscreens and controls, and offers several fastening options, giving users real flexibility over how partnering equipment is secured.

A tough thumb-loop at the top of the case provides a secondary element of security when the Hugo is hand-held, and Velcro-tipped leather latches at each end of the case provide both protection and (at the input end), a useful cavity to store small connection leads.

The amplifier models are derived from their breakthrough Delta-series CA-D200; a Class D topology that addresses the problem of dead-band-time — the time when both halves of the amplifier are off — once thought to be the Achilles’ heel of class-D designs. The Classé solution achieves an astonishingly low 3-nanosecond dead-band-time, dramatically lowering distortion and enabling numerous other design advantages. The result is said to be superbly musical sonic performance along with other class-D benefits like small size, low heat dissipation and high efficiency.

Classic-Line – a Homage to Our Roots

It goes without saying that the Classic Line has nothing to do with classical music. The name of this Series has more to do with the continuance and durability of PIEGA technology. Around 30 years ago Kurt Scheuch developed the LDR ribbon tweeter, and in 2000 the world’s first coaxial midrange driver in a later development step. Both systems were further developed and optimized over the years and their sound perfected. Both systems are still used in PIEGA loudspeakers and delight the hearts of demanding audiophiles worldwide with their unblemished and highly resolved sound – the Classic Line is a homage to our roots.

Elegantly designed in a rounded C-form with a forward sloping top section, the Classic Series clearly stands out from the other PIEGA loudspeakers. The Series comes in three model sizes featuring different tweeters and midrange drivers.
