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...- alxw0w

Hugo M Scaler by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread
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...- alxw0w

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...- alxw0w

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.- alxw0w

AXEL GRELL HEADPHONE
I'm not sure if you will be able to compare it to other HD800s distortion graphs, definitely not in direct comparison. I've not seen any distortion profile of HD800s made on BK5128, the ones I saw were made using GRASS rigs, so not really apples to apples comparison. Having said that, I really...- alxw0w
