Huei

The Chord Electronics Huei is an advanced phono preamplifier designed to seamlessly integrate record players into your audio system. Based on 30 years of expertise in building amplifiers, the Huei offers both Moving Magnet (MM) and Moving Coil (MC) compatibility, making it a versatile choice for any vinyl enthusiast. This phono preamplifier is entirely conceived, developed and manufactured in Britain and offers the same high amplification standards that Chord Electronics is known for.

Sophisticated Technology and Design

The Chord Huei uses advanced technology to deliver exceptional sound quality. With ultra-low noise microprocessor control, the Huei provides precise control over key functions, including gain and impedance settings, and a convenient memory function. The unit features eight-stage switchable gain and a switchable rumble filter, ensuring extensive compatibility with a wide range of cartridges and record players. The rugged design is made of solid aircraft-grade aluminum and features an attractive viewing window to the backlit electronics inside.

Versatile Connectivity

The Chord Huei offers extensive connectivity options to meet the demands of any audio setup. It features both unbalanced (RCA) and balanced (XLR) outputs, as well as RCA inputs for compatibility with various turntables and amplifiers. The Huei comes with a high-quality 12V external power supply, contributing to its stability and performance.

Easy Operation and Flexibility

The operation of the Huei is simple and intuitive, thanks to the illuminated spheres on the front panel. These polychromatic control spheres provide direct access to gain and impedance settings, selection for MM/MC cartridges and access to the built-in rumble filter. The high- and low-gain switch settings are easily accessible from the front panel controls, introducing welcome flexibility for customizing the sound output to your personal preferences.

Chord Electronics Hugo 2 vs. Chord Mojo 2

The Chord Mojo 2 and the Chord Hugo 2 are both excellent headphone amplifiers and DACs, but they target different segments of the market. The Mojo 2 is designed as a more affordable and portable alternative, ideal for users who want to enjoy high-fidelity audio on the go. It offers impressive sound quality with many of the same technologies used in the Hugo 2, but in a more compact and lightweight design. The Hugo 2, on the other hand, offers a higher level of detail and precision thanks to its more advanced FPGA technology and extensive connectivity options, including four digital inputs and both 3.5mm and 6.35mm headphone outputs. In addition, the Hugo 2 has longer battery life and more control options, such as the digital crossfeed function with three modes. For audiophiles who demand the highest quality and are willing to invest in the best technology, the Hugo 2 is the clear choice. For those seeking mobility and value without compromising too much on sound quality, the Mojo 2 is an excellent option.
