Description

Hugo M Scaler is an advanced processor-scaler implemented on the most powerful programmable FPGA matrix, designed to increase the resolution of audio signals by calculating and interpolating them in the time domain. The algorithm was written by Rob Watts, an authoritative specialist at Chord Electronics in the digital audio field. The first working prototype of the device was demonstrated in July 2018 at the CanJam exhibition in London.

This small box has five inputs: two coaxial BNC, two TosLink, and a galvanically isolated USB (supporting DSD256). The source can be a smartphone, laptop, streamer, CD or DVD player, TV with a digital output - in any case, the audio at the outputs will be close to ideal in quality. The outputs of the M Scaler are digital only: TosLink and BNC, and with a standard 44.1 kHz signal, the resolution on them can be up to 176.4 and 352.8 kHz respectively.

Additionally, the scaler is capable of accepting high-res audio. For example, on the TosLink output, an incoming 96 kHz signal can be upscaled to 192 kHz, and on BNC - up to 384 kHz.

Formally, Hugo M Scaler is part of the lineup of desktop DACs and headphone amplifiers for Hugo and in terms of form factor is similar to Chord TToby and Hugo 2 TT. Moreover, these components can be stacked on top of each other to save space on the desk.

For compatibility with older DACs, there is an option to select the sampling frequency of the output signal. If the user wishes to include a video source in the setup, in "Video" mode, the processor switches to low-latency mode to ensure the synchronization of sound and image is not disrupted.
