Chord Electronics Hugo M Scaler

The M Scaler uses advanced WTA filtering technology to upscale standard 44.1kHz audio signals to much higher resolutions, such as 705.6kHz or 768kHz. This process aims to reconstruct the original audio waveform more accurately, resulting in a more natural and detailed soundstage.

While the M Scaler is designed to integrate seamlessly with Chord’s TT series DACs to achieve the maximum 768kHz output, it can be used with other DACs. However, you will be limited to the maximum sample rate supported by your specific DAC's input capabilities.

Yes, the M Scaler includes a dedicated video mode that reduces latency. This ensures that the audio remains synchronized with the video content, making it suitable for home theater setups.

The spherical controls use a polychromatic lighting system to provide visual feedback. The colors change to indicate the selected input, the current output sample rate, and other operational settings, allowing you to monitor the device's status at a glance.

Yes, the M Scaler supports DSD up to DSD 256 via its USB Type-B input. It processes these files to provide the benefits of its advanced filtering technology before passing the signal to your DAC.

The M Scaler is specifically designed to stack with other Chord Electronics TT series components. Its compact, precision-milled aluminum chassis ensures a stable and aesthetically consistent footprint for your audio rack.
