The mojo is great just check all the effort poly users are going to. No one is better than anyone else as far as i see things.

Rob, I thank you for your work on musical DACs, for instance I find your crossover function in my H2 fantastic.

Maybe, aside from marketing and strategy concerns, you can give some future directions:

Are there plans to produce a portable Hugo X Scaler in the foreseeable future? Is the circuit board inside the HMS small enough to be extracted and made portable by a capable end user (similar to Hugo TT and a Hugo 1 like board inside)? Is there a FPGA chip in sight that would allow for a portable Scaler or will it take years from now? Projecting future developments adds to the high customer satisfaction.

@Rob Watts Apart from the casework and the CD transport...is the Hugo M-Scaler the same (performance) as the Blu MK2? Or does the Blu MK2 have any advantage over it? (PSU, digital filters, etc)

 

[paul2qute]

Might be just me but i think Mscaler and TT2 for example would look nicer sitting side by side instead of stacked.

Yes I agree with you for the first time ever.. .Side by side or one above the other on separate shelves

 

[paul2qute]

Mm...that is what the Hugo TT2, TT and standalone M Scaler are for. They are self-contained and designed for off-grid listening. Have great sound, will travel on planes, trains and automobiles. Wards off boredom, crying babies, talkative tourists, engine noise etc. etc. etc.

What topflight headphones have you (anyone?) listened to using the M Scaler? The Aeon Closed is fine, I guess but the TT2/M Scaler deserves a proper pairing, considering the considerable investment. HD 800/S, 820, Utopia, Abyss, LCD 4, Stax etc. Using lesser headphones is a crime against humanity. Curious.

Excuse me the Mr speakers Aeon is a fantastic headphone, the open version is just stunning to listen too, better than the focal clear I had before to my ears

Rob Watts states that his preference is the Aeon closed is fantastic when he is travelling.
I have never tried any of the Mr Speakers range of headphones, but I respect the views of those who have tried them, and believe that they are worth demoing, especially for their low distortion properties at low frequencies.

What I've read some very expensive headphones when fed a very high quality signal sound worse and ain't up to the job

I have wanted to try the Ether Flow for a while now

Mate I've had the focal utopia, focal clear, stax and I don't feel like I'm missing anything, it just draws me into the music and I totally forget I'm listening to headphones, The focal headphones you know your listening to headphones not speakers,I love speakers so makes sense for me to have headphones that are more like a speaker

Please how does m scaler connect with Hugo 2 input to up sample 768khz without BNC

It is explained in this video



edit: sorry i somehow missed "without BNC"

If chord priced the hms at 5000, i guess no one will ask this question.

Both have 1 million taps...I don't see why no one will ask this question.
That price difference can perfectly be the cost of the (out of production) Philips CD transport mechanism and the more complex chassis, that's why I've posted the question to the man himself and not to an internet rando

Slightly smaller profit per unit but far bigger sales with the price of the M scaler

That's a theory and doesn't answer my original question, I've asked to Rob Watts if there's a difference between both units (better/worse PSU, more or less complex digital filters, etc) and if both differ in terms of performance.
