Introduction
Welcome to the M Scaler Quick Start Guide. This shortened guide is
supplementary to the main manual which should be referred to for full
safety and operational information.
Please note that further information on any of the topics below is listed
in the full manual.
Warranty
The M scaler comes with a comprehensive three-year warranty. To
activate the warranty, please register your device via the Chord
Electronics website:

Note: please do not use a third-party power supply with the M Scaler
as it will invalidate the warranty.
Connecting your source to the M Scaler
In order for the M Scaler to upscale/upsample your music, you must
connect your source to the appropriate M Scaler input; you can
connect multiple sources if you wish.

Connecting M Scaler to Qutest, Hugo 2, TT 2 or
DAVE
To experience the full 768kHz upsampling benefits of the M Scaler,
you must connect it in dual data mode to a Chord Electronics DAC
using the two BNC cables provided. Plug BNC OUT 1 into BNC IN 1
and BNC OUT 2 into BNC IN 2. If you only plug one BNC cable into the
device, you will only experience maximum upsampling of 384kHz. You
no longer require your source to be connected to your DAC. If you are
connecting M Scaler to Hugo 2, you may use a third-party BNC cable
terminated with a 3.5mm TRS jack. This is not supplied. Please refer to
the Hugo 2 user manual; Step 03 - Connectivity.

Connecting M Scaler to a third-party DAC

Connecting M Scaler to a third-party DAC without a supported dual
data mode (x2 parallel BNC inputs) will yield maximum upsampling of
384kHz. The maximum upsampling will depend on the highest sample
rate that your DAC can recieve. We recommend connecting M Scaler
to your DAC via BNC/SPDIF for the maximum possible upsampling
of 384kHz, if supported, in this configuration. Connect any output of
M Scaler to the corresponding input of your DAC. You no longer require
your source to be connected to your DAC.
