Chord M Scaler Digital Audio Up-Scaler

Chord M Scaler Digital Audio Up-Scaler

The Chord M Scaler represents the cutting edge of digital audio processing, featuring the world's most advanced digital filter technology to maximize resolution and musicality from your digital sources. With a proprietary 1,015,808-tap WTA (Watts Transient Alignment) filter and powerful Xilinx FPGA processing, the M Scaler upscales standard audio to 768kHz, transforming compressed and lower-resolution signals into audiophile-grade material. When paired with compatible Chord DACs, the M Scaler unlocks previously hidden details and dimensionality in your music collection.
