Hi there, Thanks for your thoughts Spoonguaard ! I've a Mano mk3 on order, will see and later share how it compares to the Red on my system. Planning to compare them both running with GentooPlayer and Diretta. Actually the Holo Red (Gentoo/Diretta) is feeding a M Scaler - Chord Dave combo over...

Hi, I wanted to try other OS with the Red, to output over Spdif. Moode 64 bits : unable to configure the hat (not showing up) Moode 32 bits : the Holo Audio hat appears and is working fine I'm stuck with Ropieee XL, which "hat" should I select to get it working over spdif please ? List of...

I fully agree, Linn always said "source first" and I completely agree after having invested into the source here. The amplifier nor the speakers/headphone can reproduce something they never received :) The source is the foundation of the system. I'm also ok for a TT2 or a Dave later :darthsmile:

Hi, Had great improvement on Qutest with an Allo Usbridge, same improvement using the Usbridge on the M Scaler compared to my fanless PC (hdplex, ssd....). I had the iPurifier 2 on the Qutest before trying the Usbridge, the Usbridge is far more better for a little more money. Galvanic...

Hi, Now that the M Scaler is fully set in after more than 200 hours of music, I've compared on the USB input of the M Scaler my fanless Windows 10 (LPSU, SSD...) PC vs the Allo Usbridge (J28 jumper removed, dual ifi iPower powered). The result is (as it was on the bare Qutest), that the Allo...

Hi, Had iPurifier 2 on Qutest, upgraded to Allo Usbridge (much better). Galvanic isolation isn't a miracle which makes the Qutest insensitive. Now having the M Scaler in the chain, I wonder if I still need the Usbridge to clean up USB, have to try to connect my PC directly to M Scaler...

Hi, I used before iPurifier 2, the change was audible (more depth) but I wouldn't advice this device (they where not only gains on my side with it), I switched after to a Allo Usbridge, the result is far better than the iPurifier 2 (didn't tried the v3).

HMS arrived on tuesday as expected at the shop, they hadn't it in stock and they received it the next day from the local swiss distributor. It couldn't be faster ! I've connected it to the system with the provided coax cable, the psu was connected to an emi/rfi filtered power strip (as the...

Thanks Gibson59, I'm mostly a speaker user, Qutest/M Scaler was tested on a speaker setup (Chord amp + Triangle Magelan Cello speakers). I'll use it with my Naim and Proac setup, so sorry can't give an advice for a headphone usage. I know that it's mainly a headphone forum here, but after...

Hi, Ordered the M Scaler today for my Qutest, it should arrive in 1 or 2 days. I can't wait to hear it on my setup :) The differences were big when I listened to it at the shop on the Qutest.
