Tyll Hertsens posted the reverse observations for the X, and my EQs makes it relatively flat. I had posted the EQs earlier and others confirmed my findings. I don't do this for testing, just for personal listening. In fact, I raise the EQ for both the LCD-X and LCD-2 in the brightness range so I hear the Hugo flat at the ears. There is a distinction between having high frequencies in proper proportion to the rest and brightness. Suffice it to say that most of the readers here who also have experience with a variety of dacs agree in general that the Hugo is extended and neutral - it was designed to be so - and not at all bright. Whose got the time or will or want to expand the energy? Moreover, I don't need to take up every challenge thrown at me by any opinionated individual, as I have gotten hundreds of similar challenges and arguments after every review a reader didn't agree with. I have over three decades of experience as a reviewer and use as much of the scientific methods to eliminate variables as possible under these conditions. All of them, the W4S, LH Labs, CEntrance and others. I specified I did not use the HD800 which I find slightly bright and thin sounding with a flat input, such as that of the Hugo's. My tests were done with my dacs and headphones.
