I need a high end dac for my main system and have choosen these two based on the informations found online as well as had some experience with arcam cd players and chord mojo which i really liked.
If you already have a Mojo for portable use, and like the Chord neutral 'sound' (I know that DACs should sound neutral, but some people prefer a warmer sounding DAC), why not consider a 2Qute? Chord describe it as a Hugo, with the headphone amp outlet removed. It also has the advantage of costing only two thirds the price of the Hugo, but arguable sounds slightly better.

Searching this thread for arcam d33 brings up nothing.
Searching for arcam, brings up a few comparisons between the hugo and the arcam irdac, but that is not quite what you asked for.

So I am guessing I was right about people on this forum having compared both.
My thoughts now is that you should try to audition expat_mikes's suggestion.
Or you could sell the Mojo and upgrade to the Hugo for use in both fixed and mobile situations.
