It uses Rob Watts’ (our Digital Design Consultant’s) unique filter technology, the most advanced in the world, to upscale standard 44.1kHz digital audio up to 705.6kHz (16x CD’s 44.1kHz native resolution), ready to be passed to a suitable DAC; Hugo M Scaler extends its upscaling performance to 768kHz (from 96kHz input data) for our dual-BNC-input DACs: DAVE, Qutest and the new Hugo TT 2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/9255\/5595\/files\/CHORD-JULY251_1024x1024.png?v=1592510278\" alt=\"Chord M Scaler Hugo TT2\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hugo M Scaler brings the unrivalled advantages of our ground-breaking FPGA-based WTA (Watts Transient Alignment) filtering technology to digitally connected audio devices, dramatically improving sound quality. Although optimised for use with selected Chord Electronics DACs (for the maximum 768kHz upscaling\/decoding benefit), the Hugo M Scaler can be used with other DACs with suitable inputs, subject to their decoding capability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hugo M Scaler’s compact form factor aligns with the TT (Table Top) series and has been designed to be stackable with other units in the range, including the TToby stereo power amp and the Hugo TT 2, to form a highly advanced yet space-saving system. In line with other models in the Hugo and Hugo TT series, the device features a number of illuminable fascia-mounted spherical controls, governing input selection, output sample rate and video mode for lower latency. The control spheres display data visually including input source and the incoming sample rate, using a polychromatic scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen partnered with either of Chord Electronics’ 768kHz-capable dual-BNC-input DACs, the Hugo M Scaler sets an astonishing technical benchmark for digital audio performance at it price point, redefining sound quality from digital audio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2x BNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2x optical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x galvanically isolated USB Type-B compatible with DSD and PCM data (up to DSD 256); with DSD upsampled to PCM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x optical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x S\/PDIF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x galvanically isolated dual BNC (enables upscaling to the maximum resolution (768kHz from 96kHz data)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional features: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe most advanced digital filter in the world\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable sample rate output (with pass-thru mode)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVideo mode (for lower latency)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuto video and source selection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e‘DX’ controls for future product\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned, engineered and entirely made in the UK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision-milled chassis, crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFPGA:\u003c\/strong\u003e Xilinx XC7A200T\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilter tap length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1,015,808 WTA taps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 235 x 40.5 x 236mm (WxHxD)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"col-sm-12\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"Chord M Scaler Quickstart Guide\" href=\"https:\/\/chordelectronics.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/M-Scaler-quickstart-V1.1.pdf\"\u003eQuickstart guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"col-sm-12\"\u003eSafety instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"col-sm-12\"\u003e15V 4A Switching barrel type power supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIR remote control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType-A USB to Type-B USB cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2x BNC to BNC cables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptical cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2x AAA batteries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chord Electronics","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":28699089207371,"sku":"MSCALERB","price":5250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver","offer_id":28699089240139,"sku":"MSCALERS","price":5250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/9255\/5595\/products\/Chord-Electronics-Hugo-M-Scaler-1M-tap-Digital-Upscaling-Device.jpg?v=1630355884","url":"https:\/\/bloomaudio.mom\/products\/chord-electronics-hugo-m-scaler-endgame-1m-tap-digital-upscaling-device","provider":"Bloom Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
