Description
Suzi Amp
The new Suzi Amp power amplifier incorporates the groundbreaking Chord ULTIMA amplifier topology, delivering 30 watts of stereo power into a remarkably compact design.
It features 4 mm banana loudspeaker outputs, RCA inputs, and a removable solid aluminium cover block exposing connections for the direct integration of the Suzi Pre or Hugo 2.
Front-panel polychromatic buttons control power and the AV bypass feature, and its casework venting ensures optimal thermal performance.
A 12 V DC output is provided for compatibility with other Chord Electronics devices and a headphone pass-through (3.5 mm and 6.35 mm) is active when the Suzi Amp is connected to the Suzi Pre or Hugo 2.
Configuration Options
Along with the matching Suzi Pre, Hugo 2 and 2go, the modular concept offers many versatile configurations, including:
Suzi Amp – Used alone, as a standalone stereo power amplifer.
+ Suzi Pre – Use with Suzi Pre to create a compact pre / power amplifier with phono stage and headphone out.
+ Hugo 2 – Use with the Hugo 2, to create a DAC / Amplifier setup (add USB-C/B inputs with the Multiplexer accessory)
+ Hugo 2 + 2go – Use with Hugo 2 and 2go to create a streaming DAC / Amp with up to 2 TB MicroSD storage.
When the Suzi Amp is paired with the Hugo 2 DAC and the 2go streamer, it transforms into a streaming amplifier complete with Roon Endpoint and DLNA/UPnP connectivity, plus the potential for up to 2 TB of onboard solid state storage from the 2go’s twin MicroSD slots.
For enhanced versatility when using the Hugo 2 and Suzi Amp combination, the Chord USB multiplexer expansion accessory (available separately) connects to the Hugo 2’s dual Micro USB inputs, and adds USB-B data inputs, plus USB-C data and charging. The Hugo 2 automatically detects the active input, allowing for simultaneous connections.
