Connecting Hugo M Scaler to a third-party DAC          4.0

In order to use the Hugo M Scaler, you must connect your source to any 

input of the device. You can connect multiple sources if you wish and 

select between them later from within the menu.

Please note that if you are using the USB input with a MAC/Linux 

device you will not need a driver but if you are connecting a Windows 

device  it will need a driver from the Hugo M Scaler section of our 

website:

Connect dual-data mode to a Chord Electronics DAC using two BNC 

cables and ensure your OP SR is set to white.

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 a 

maximum upsampling of 384kHz. You no longer require your source to 

be connected to your DAC.

Quickstart Manual

Introduction 

 

 

 

   

 1.0

Welcome to the Hugo M Scaler Quickstart Guide. This shortened guide 

is supplementary to the main manual which should be referred to for 

full safety and operational information.  

Please note, more information on any of these topics is listed within the 

full manual found under the product page:

Warranty 

 

 

 

      

  1.1

Hugo M Scaler comes with a comprehensive 3-year warranty. To 

activate this warranty, please register your device via the Chord 

Electronics website:

chordelectronics.co.uk/register-product

Note: please do not use a third-party charger with the Hugo M Scaler 

as it voids the warranty.

Connecting Hugo M Scaler to a third-party DAC without a supported 

dual data mode (x2 parallel BNC inputs) will yield maximum 

upsampling of 384kHz. We recommend connecting the Hugo M Scaler 

to your DAC via BNC/S/ PDIF for the maximum upsampling of 384kHz 

in this configuration. Connect any output of the Hugo M Scaler to the 

input of your DAC. You no longer require your source to be connected 

to your DAC.
