Szukasz konwertera, który nadawałby się do użytku po spotkaniu z pancernym wozem bojowym?
Polecamy przetwornik Hugo produkowany przez Chord Elecronics, który niedawno bez uszczerbku wytrzymał najazd rosyjskiego BMP-1. Kilka lat wcześniej podobny crash-test przeszedł inny model Chorda QBD76. Anglicy mają na pewno uzasadniony powód do dumy, która powinno być tym większa, że większość konwerterów nie wytrzymuje spotkania ani z delikatną sztuką orkiestrową Debussy’ego, ani tym bardziej wyrafinowaną muzyką Mahlera czy Brucknera, a co dopiero mówić o 13-tonowym pancernym kolosie ze Wschodu. Szczegóły poniżej.
IS YOUR TECH TANK-PROOF? CHORD’S HUGO
DAC TAKES ON A SOVIET TANK… AND WINS!
17th April 2015, Kent, UK – Chord Electronics, the world’s leading high-
performance hi-fi and digital audio expert, proves that its award-winning
Hugo DAC/headphone amp simply can’t be beaten in 2015!
Discerning music lovers already know Chord Electronics’ Kent-made hi-fi is built to last, but
very few know that it’s also tank-proof! Following the company’s famous 2011 run-in with a
13.2-tonne Russian BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicle with its flagship DAC, the QBD76, the
British company decided to see if its more affordable digital-to-analogue convertor, the
multi-award-winning Hugo DAC, could hold out under pressure just like its sibling.
With the help of Stuttgart-based journalist, Stefan Schickedanz, who was the mastermind
behind the stunt (and who has already witnessed one crushing defeat!) Chord supplied its
Hugo DAC for the ultimate ‘test’: Russia’s first mass-produced infantry fighting vehicle, the
armoured, radiation-shielded BMP-1. The full test features in German hi-fi magazine
AUDIOphile 1/15 which is available now, but the real entertainment lies in the YouTube
video
