Mm....glad the M Scaler was developed. Me? As a Blu MK 2 Dave owner that pairs beautifully with my HE1, I am not at all perturbed. I am perfectly happy with the Blu MK 2 and am busily building my CD collection. It is just a better listening experience than USB/Tidal Hifi.
I am glad that the standalone M Scaler is more affordable and more accessible to budget-minded summiteers, sans the CD player. Am I offended by the lower price point? Not really. It is simple. I ve been enjoying (tremendously) the BluDave for a year now. By the time that this new flavor of the month ships by end of year or early next, it means that I ve had a headstart of 18 months or more. It is 18 months that I wouldn’t trade for anything. At my age, time is more important than money.
