They are on the cargo ship now just passed Greenland.

I noticed the windows drivers are not on chord's site which must be troubling those wanting to use usb input.

Whale oil be Collin me noofy friends to look out for the cargo ship. Maybes we can snag 'em before dem yanks get em.

Guys, this thread is going crazy! The thing has barely been out half an hour and you’re getting into ferrites and third party power supplies and power leads. You think Rob so stupid he couldn’t have designed a better power supply than someone on the internet who no ones ever heard of? You think he so stupid he deliberately chose a bad connector? You all need to listen to some music and get a grip.

Keyword is cost not stupidity. Chord is not stupid but they want profit.

Yes keep listening to music please.

I prefer C7 connector, more secure.

Anyway, I always strick to stock cables until the equipment has been optimised in the system.

Quality is always costly. Just decide what you really want and the other things will have to wait.

My HUGO MSCALER has arrived - 1.

Pictures first :-

@Triode User would you know what coax cables are these? Can they be Pro Signal?

I have looked at the images on those links and at the datasheets for those cables and they look very similar or even identical to the HMS supplied cables but I can only say that they 'could be' the same rather than being able to categorically state they are the same. I am sure you understand. What is your interest in finding out if you don't mind me asking?

thanks for checking. given the fact that Chord use Pro Signal toslink cables, it's quite fair to assume that the coax cables could be from the same source/manufacturer.

I simply need a coax cable to connect my blu-ray player to Chord Dave and instead of buying a fancy bnc terminated cable, I thought I would get the one that Chord include with the HMS. If it's good for Chord, it should be good for me too

Is the DX output light lit in red constantly for anyone that has the m scaler? Also are you just leaving it permanently on? Lastly anyone planning on auditioning the Etude?

Thanks.

I got mine yesterday. From what I can see, the "DX OP" light always shows the colour reflecting the input sampling rate.
I can't see a way of actually turning the off the HMS

 

[musickid]

My mscaler arrives in a few hours but the adaptors won't be here till tomorrow to connect to hugo 2.

1) How do you turn the mscaler on/off? I can't see a power button.

2) with a computer/mscaler/hugo2 what is the sequence for powering up/down?

This is completely new territory so excuse the nature of these questions thanks mk.

OK, I have just now taken apart one of those Pro Signal cables. They are pretty good for the price but the connector is crimped onto the outer flexible casing of the cable and not against a solid background. If you are looking to buy a bnc cable for reliable long term use I suggest maybe spending slightly more than the £3 inc VAT price of the Pro Signal cable and get something that has a better quality BNC connector.

I have asked my local dealer to get in an etude once released so I can try. John Frank's posted on the dave thread previously that this is the best amp chord have for partnering the dave??? I suspect all the chord amplifiers will move to this topology very soon.

Ok, my Mscaler has arrived. It is plugged in and is now playing music. I’ll leave playing for an hour or so for everything to settle down while I get some other stuff done.
