Watts Up...?
@macfan 1. If you’re asking, you should get M-Scaler later. Enjoy one thing at a time 2. The issue is mostly that different people listen at different volumes. At my Head-Fi meet, I find people who listen at -10dB quieter than me and at +25dB louder than me. It’s not possible for us to know... -
Winnipeg meets' thread (Ongoing)
I only asked because sometimes if you only treat the mid- to high-frequencies, you can make the room too dead instead of just evenly damped. Imagine if the bass is at 0.8-0.9 and you treated the mid- to high-frequencies to 0.1-0.2, it'll sound a bit weird. But I guess you would hear it and just...- ecwl

Hugo M Scaler by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread
No. I don’t hear a sonic difference between my iPad into Chord products vs my streamer Toslink into Chord products. As long as you’re not using some weird USB-C splitter where you’re charging your iPad while feeding USB signals to the M-Scaler. The problem of RF noise going into the USB of Chord...- ecwl

You can dim M-Scaler like you can dim TT2. Whether the dimmed light is still too bright for you as hard to predict.- ecwl

Hugo M Scaler by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread
I checked some more. I don’t have usb input connected, just Toslink. When there is no signal, all 3 buttons on the right are dark. But if I press on the third button from the right (DX OP), it’ll change color twice and then go back to dark and when it changes to the other colors, the DX volume...- ecwl

I’m trying to figure out why your M-scaler lights for the DX volume buttons are on (the two right most buttons) Mine are always dark.- ecwl

CHORD ELECTRONICS DAVE
I thought @number1sixerfan was trying Toslink and USB a few years back but there were some dropout issues. I was wondering if you have had a chance to go back to Toslink before contemplating the power supply mods. I have tried many times to get my USB source to be as clean as possible and I...- ecwl

Watts Up...?
Haha... Same here at my local head-fi meet last time where I setup DCA Stealth/Chord Hugo 2. People hated it. They much prefer Hugo 2 with pretty much any other headphones. But they almost all use class A or tube amps to drive their planar magnetic or electrostatic headphones so they are also... -
Watts Up...?
With time, I'm more and more convinced that many people just prefer euphonic distortions, particularly for poor recordings. Daniel Hertz by Mark Levinson recently came out with new products that uses a technology called C-wave. The patent is available for review... -
Watts Up...?
I will admit that I have very low expectations for flexibility and options for the new Quartet M Scaler EQ, given what was provided for Mojo2. The truth is, different people have different EQ "needs". And it is just not possible for a hardware product to fulfill all those needs. Especially when... -

No. Topping DDC sounds too expensive to me. I use this...- ecwl

Watts Up...?
Since my living room stereo definitely needs EQ and I am definitely buying the Quartet M Scaler, I would love to volunteer to beta test your pre-production unit in the middle of nowhere Canada. I don’t even mind paying Chord in full now and can exchange the production unit for the pre-production...
