Hugo M Scaler by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread
You can still use the src-dx to feed your mscaler native 44/48/96 etc signal (you do not nessecarily need two cables then) without upsampling, just to replace USB. I do as I have TV and chromecast toslink (for Spotify). Isolation comes from reactcores optical solution between mscaler and tt2...- esmit

I am having a hard time following you, might be because English is not my native language. What is an optical USB Cable?- esmit

I have connected my Panasonic TV to the mscaler using toslink, so the Shield TV I use, or any other source like DVB-C all go through the Mscaler, always. Or do you prefer Shield usb out to mscaler?- esmit

I get the soundstage I expect when I sit a little bit closer to the left speaker. Almost in front of the tv. The front of the speakers is before the bookcase, and the bookcase angle to the wall is 115 degrees, not 90, I guess that helps.- esmit

My Choral housed Chord Mscaler
Yesterday @Reactcore visited with his optically connected (and power modified) Dave and mscaler so we could compare with my/his TT mscaler combination. It was clear that for pre Dolby recordings the mscaler gives a larger and nicer soundstage, with better placement than Dave or TT2 alone. I...- esmit

Let us know before I repeat my dual optical promotion @Reactcore (or @Triode User s dx optical solution, I guess, but I do not have experience with those)- esmit

Or just replace for around €50,- of capacitors (see reactcore's thread: https://www.head-fi.org/posts/17425418/) Even if you wire correctly the load can be too much, as was my experience.- esmit

To me, as the owner of Reactcore s external optical solution, between mscaler and TT2, it really does not sound more aggressive or harsher. It sounds more resolving and balanced, better soundstaging. Compared to Wave Storm. I do believe Reactcore and MvRie when they say the power modified Dave...- esmit

My Choral housed Chord Mscaler
I finally got round to some critical listening, and I am very impressed. Not yet, but I do think it has never sounded better on several aspects: Stereo imaging and the perception of the venue the recording was taken. Detail seems higher. Better definition. Voices can be understood better, bass...- esmit

Hugo TT 2 by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread
Indeed, that is why I repeated them here. And although in my case I think the root cause was a bad/repeatedly interrupted connection on the speaker side (volume was low, speaker worked for some time so in theory the wiring was the correct xlr connection), I learned later you should not use XLR...- esmit

Yep, I busted my TT2 with cheap XLR to difficult to drive Dynaudio Heritage Special speakers. Next time single ended? No, I do not dare to do it again. Wonderful fifteen minutes though, terrible two months waiting for a repair.- esmit
