    Hugo M Scaler by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread

    Just to make sure, check one more time if everything is connected properly and you are getting full upsampling. Maybe provide some of the photos of the back of the units and also what "lights" are shown on both m scaler and tt2. Yes that's also good advice. But hey if you don't hear the...

    No streamer has nothing to it. If you don't hear any improvement it is what it is. Don't force youself to fall into endless loop of upgrades and thinking that your chain is bad so you dont hear anything. Just sell m scaler and invest money somahere else. Headphones for example. You will thank...

    Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC (and headphone amp)

    Most likely that's because of interpolation filters used by chip companies. Many companies that use off the shelf dac chips use default filters. With custom ones you have to do it yourself - most of the times these custom filters are better - subjectively at least. That's my POV after testing...

    Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC (and headphone amp)

    Math is done in SHARC dsp chips and yes, actual conversion happens in discrete components. Kinda similar to what Rob (Chord) is doing with his dacs alas he uses FPGA to upsample and delta sigma modulation, different tools but the goal is similiar.

    It's called audiophilia nervosa.

    Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC (and headphone amp)

    None, it's discrete custom design. You can read more here (and here) directly from the designer Bruno Putzeys
