connected via USB to give a direct digital audio signal as found on many devices and
computers. You can also connect with BNC coax digital input, Optical TOSLink input
and full sized B type USB inputs for both SD (up to 16 bit 48KHz) & HD (32 bit 384KHz

HugoTT can be switched to line level output to connect into a preamplifier or used with
its advanced volume control as a digital preamplifier directly into an amplifier. To
complete the usability, HugoTT comes with remote control and display so the setup can
clearly be seen across a room. HugoTT is a truly versatile piece of equipment to help
