Hi RF
Long time lurker here. Bought a tori MK V about three years ago. Bought the Chord Hugo at the same time. I love the chord dacs. Think they sound great with the tori. Still running the Hugo with a ZMA. I am saving up for the Chord Hugo TT2. Lots of info on Headfi forums about the different models and the designer Rob Watts chimes in quite often.
Rob is as passionate about his dacs as Steve is about his amps.
Great combo
The only thing I would do with the Chord and the Tori is either get a Hugo that puts out voltage or add one of Steve’s Pre amps. The amp likes voltage.
I run my Hugo through the Zpre, (had an rca to balanced input installed) through the Zbit into the ZMA or Tori.
Bought the Zpre anticipating the Hugo TT, which has balanced out.
Rob does say that he believes his rca out is better than balanced out.
I listened to Steve about the amps and riding the gain 😀 and I like the option.
The Chord dacs are pretty transparent, great combo with Steve’s amps
Hope that helps

I ran a Chord Qute for a couple years with my Mk III and Rachael.  I left it for a dac with balanced output so I could use a zbit.  I still use it in a secondary system.  I also think they are a good match for Decware.
