In the Hugo2 thread, Rob Watts mentioned that he is working on a new M scaler designed specifically for Dave

Yup, the Choral M scaler. It's almost done if we get his messages right.

Yes - been working with pre-production units this month. Everything is working correctly, and it's exceeding my SQ expectations from the earlier prototypes.

Got up at 3am Christmas morning to try something out, and have gotten a small SQ improvement today - so I am happy.

Thats some spirit.. even during Xmas improving on designs

We should be lucky for the component delays
As once released.. it gets frozen for 10 years ..theres no upgrading anymore.

But that’s one specific for the Dave? Or also tt2?

Because it will be advanced enough upgrades aren’t needed.

Okay it’s official we are all hifi nerds here
Merry Christmas.

Is the new scaler also for the tt2 or especially for the dave? Also design wise? Because the mscaler looks very nice together with the tt2

It will be the same as the current scaler. Which was shaped for TT range but Dave benefits too but now reversed shaped for Choral but TT2 benefits too.

At least i dont have to redesign its housing this time

From what I understand, he seems to enjoy his work so much that the borders of playing around and hard work become blurry

I know the feeling ..i had it when testing and tweaking my mods.. getting these wow moments when you hear ever deeper in the music.. long nights keeping going

Did some more testing regarding the srcdx dropouts/resets when using single bnc mode.

Tried listening to music on Roon for about 2 hours without up sampling so that it would stay on single mode. Not a single issue. So something has to be going on with windows or my system that would randomly cause it to have problems watching YouTube or movies.

One thing I did notice, compared to optical from holo red or the normal chord usb input is that anytime I loaded up anything with sound on the pc, the srcdx causes the display in the tt2 to activate like it’s getting a new input or resyncing. Could be an amd vs intel thing. I do know amd had issues with usb dropouts but it’s never happened on other audio gear.

I think my next test is going to be setting windows audio to a higher frequency to make it always run I dual mode to see if it’s more stable that way

I have been 100% speakers listening on my system, now I want to get a pair of headphones to use on my TT-2/M Scaler combo for when the kids are asleep, what do you guys recommend? I want a full sound, nothing thin or bright, some recommendations please. No worries about budget, just want something really good.

Open or closed-back?

Not sure what the difference is, I haven't played with headphones in a while, can you let me know what the differences are?
