The Hugo M Scaler is a highly advanced standalone upscaler capable of redefining sound quality from digital audio. It uses unique filter technology, the most advanced in the world, to upscale standard 44.1kHz digital audio up to 705.6kHz (16x CD’s 44.1kHz native resolution), ready to be passed to a suitable DAC; Hugo M Scaler extends its upscaling performance to 768kHz (from 96kHz input data) for dual-BNC-input DACs: DAVE, Qutest and the new Hugo TT 2.
