Hugo M Scaler

About the Hugo M Scaler

The Hugo M Scaler utilizes technology from the flagship BLU MKII, employing Rob Watts' unique WTA (Watts Transient Alignment) filtering via a custom-coded FPGA to redefine digital audio quality. It upscales standard 44.1kHz PCM to 705.6kHz and up to 768kHz from 96kHz inputs when paired with compatible Chord DACs like Qutest, Hugo 2, Hugo TT 2, and DAVE. Optimized for dual-BNC-input DACs, it also works with other DACs supporting its outputs. The compact, stackable design matches the TT series, with illuminable spherical controls for input selection, sample rate, and video mode. Features include convection cooling, solid aluminum chassis, IR remote, Roon tested compatibility, adjustable sample rate with pass-thru, video mode for low latency, auto source selection, and 'DX' controls. Designed and made in the UK with precision-milled aircraft-grade aluminum.
