On the subject of LPS, can I confirm that if I only had one LPS (SBooster), I will get the most improvement if I use that on the HMS rather than the TT2?
Bergeon20, using an Sbooster on my TT2 I think provided a noticeable difference, but possibly a bit more when connected to the M Scaler. As Triode User said, it’s best to let your own ears do the judging.

Which sbooster is everyone using for the mscaler? Which voltage? 15v?

Thanks Bruce :relieved:
You’re very welcome DJJEZ. My pleasure. So are you actually going to buy one Sbooster for your M Scaler, and leave your $5K+ TT2 DAC plugged into the Chinese made Chord stock SMPS(switch mode power supply) wall wart? Just axing a question. 😀

The plan is to buy 1 for each :relaxed::relaxed:

DJJEZ, what was it that convinced you that getting an Sbooster’s for both your HMS and TT2 was the way to go, instead of investing in a LPSU like a Farad3, or something crazy expensive like a Sean Jacob’s DC4 LPS?

i dont have a crazy amount of money for those. from reading forums and groups the sbooster sounds great for the money. im currently saving for abyss 1266TC's so money is tight lol

DJJEZ, you’re a man after my own heart sir. Why it was just the day before yesterday that my trophy wife and our 5.5yr old reminded me that we are trying to buy a new house this spring, and that getting the Abyss 1266 Phi TC’s would be, in the words of our young daughter, “stupid”. What do kids know anyway? I totally concur that using Sbooster’s on your HMS/TT2 combo is a good value for money decision.

Hi guys. I have a new question. I'm trying out Audirvana software on my Windows 10 PC. I have a choice to use WASAPI or ASIO drivers. Which do you recommend for best results with my Chord M Scaler/Qutest combo?

Seemss ASIO is better than WASAPI, mentioned around 14:00 min mark in the video. I use Mac though. Hope it helps!

So I installed the MScaler, and wow - the space between instruments, vocals and other points of sound! Where’d all that come from?

Just one question: When toggling thru the upsampling rates: pass thru, medium, high, max, I get no sound when I exit max (white). What am I missing?
Try toggling the coax buttons on the remote.

Probably you mixed up bnc cables on TT2 side. Switch them.
