Introducing the Suzi & Suzi Pre

Launching autumn 2024, the Suzi power amplifier and Suzi Pre are the newest additions to Chord’s iconic Hugo range. This fully modular system offers unprecedented flexibility:

Pair Suzi + Suzi Pre for a high-performance power/preamplifier system with integrated phono stage

Or combine Suzi with Hugo 2 and 2go to build a high-end streaming DAC system powered by Chord’s custom FPGA architecture
