I have had an M-scaler on demo for a few days. They way I would describe the combination with DAVE is “more DAVE”. It builds on the already excellent imaging, with fuller sound, more defined bass, better transients. The difference becomes more apparent with more listening. At first I found the difference small, but now it is obvious. I have now ordered one.
Although my first experience of an MScaler was with the Blu2 I agree about the “more DAVE” comment. I think that is how I put it at the time. Going back to the Dave alone made it sound broken.
