      The Hugo 2 does everything that the original Hugo does with improvements in every department. This is a truly outstanding piece of digital equipment – one that offers performance that is utterly unfazed by whatever you choose to play on it. It isn’t cheap but you could simply attach a pair of active speakers to it and have a superbly capable- and extremely compact system. It isn’t perfect and whilst it’s a great deal more user friendly than the original, it isn’t without quirks. Viewed as a whole though, the Hugo 2 is a deeply impressive product that represents the new benchmark for digital under £2,000 and is an indisputable best buy.
