En alweer een fantastische review voor de Chord Hugo, ditmaal in What Hi-Fi? Magazine uit de UK. Wat hebben ze te zeggen over de Chord Hugo?
There’s a strong case to be made for quite a number of Chord products to appear in this list. But it’s the oddly named Hugo that gets the nod, and we’ll say here and now that it’s a classic-in-waiting.

But what elevates Hugo is the sound it serves up when amplifying your headphones or converting your digital audio files.
