Yes, let the MScaler do the upscaling!

Sold elsewhere.

Bump

👍🏻 Would be interesting to see if the Chords dacs are affected. I'm using optical input and battery on my Mscaler and then onto a Chord Dave via bnc. Will look at the Intona though.

I assume this doesn't matter for the Chord dacs though as their jitter control is first class?

Great transaction. Item as described and fast secure delivery. Thanks Andrew. 👍🏻

Chord Electronics Hugo TT2 desktop Dac/Headphone Amp/Pre-Amp in silver. Immaculate condition, no marks or scratches complete with all original cables, remote control and packaging. Purchased from Fanthorpes HiFi December 2023 with a 3 year Chord warranty. The remaining 32 months warranty is...

Hi I’m interested in upgrading from my TT2 for the Dave. Can I ask about the history of your unit? Would like to know age of unit and if any warranty left? kind regards Lee

I use that Cubilux for my Fiio M11s to Hugo 2 portable setup. Works a charm!

Yes that’d work too. Topping would be useful down the line as a dac though.

It will. More importantly, you’re breaking the electrical connection from the Mac by using the Topping and toslink optical. Kinda what the Opto does.

It’s true! I have the same set up but I use a streamer instead of my Mac. Only reason being I want to separate Mac from music apart from remote control.I had the SRC-DX and sent it back. Bixpower will set you back a fair amount as you’ll have to import from California...

Just use a good ddc inbetween Mac and HMS. I use the Topping D10. Feed the HMS optical input from the ddc. You could also use a bixpower power bank to power the HMS. Job done.

I'm interested in the Woo mini but may wait until a 2nd gen appears. I've opted for the Chord Hugo 2 with the Fiio M11S as transport for my portable use, as I will only be at home or at a fixed location. I trialled the L&P W4 & Ibasso DC Elite. Great if you want to use for commuting.

Thanks for your detailed description. Very helpful in determining what I’m looking out for and I think the ibasso will have better synergy with my headphones. I have no experience of iems so can’t comment on those.

I’m current trialling the dc elite against the L&P W4. Having a hard time deciding as both great. Can I garner any input from others who made the choice for one over the other? I’m driving Meze Liric or Focal Utopia 22.

Ok thanks. Yes it’s the LIRIC1 I’m getting. I had to bite at £600 off open-box.

Ok, thanks again. 👍🏻

Thanks Daniel. Would you still recommend changing the stock 3.5 cable? If so, what do you use. I understand OCC copper works best.

Hi I’ve a pair of the LIRIC coming in tomorrow for portable use. Looking for dongle dac/amp recommendations. I am currently trialling the L&P W4 and Ibasso DC Elite. Should I trial the Mojo 2 too? I’ve previously owned this but is a little bulky for portable use and the button system is not...

The supplied cable fits the Mscaler and it comes with it's own charger. You will need an adapter to use the non-regulating battery output. Disconnect from mains whilst using.

I would send the Krisdonia back and order the Bixpower BP90. Rob and others have stated the Krisdonia was the worst of the batteries for Mscaler. Definitely look for the coax to toslink converter too.

You still need optical input from your source too.

No need for ferrited cables with the bixpower if you’re using MScaler optical input.
