Hugo M Scaler | Manual
_
Although the Hugo M Scaler is
optimised for use with Chord
Electronics’ DACs, especially
for the full 768kHz upscaling/
decoding performance, the Hugo
M Scaler can be connected to
a third-party DAC to increase
performance.
Connection to a third-party
DAC can be made either via the
available BNC output, or the
optical output. The dual-data
BNC outputs must not be used
with non-Chord Electronics
DACs.
