The Chord Hugo M Scaler is a digital processor but not a digital-to-analog processor, its purpose being the upsampling—referred to in the UK as upscaling—of incoming data. JA used the M Scaler with Chord’s DAVE D/A processor, and with his own PS Audio and Mark Levinson DACs. In all cases, but especially with the DAVE, upsampling via the M Scaler offered such improvements as "more image depth, an increased sense of drive, and even more clarity..."

STEREOPHILE CLASS A
Best attainable sound for a component of its kind, almost without practical considerations, with the least musical compromise. A Class A system is one for which you don’t have to make a leap of faith to believe you’re hearing the real thing.

" While Chord Electronics’ DAVE may be in a class of its own as a standalone headphone amp/DAC, the combination of the Hugo TT 2 and the Hugo M Scaler actually costs less than the DAVE and may actually offer better all around performance, which is saying a mouthful..." Les testen her.

"The M-Scaler is relatively expensive; I recommend you audition the M-Scaler with you own DAC before getting out the credit card."
"But “Improve the recreation of the original music signal” as Chord claims, the M-Scaler definitely did, with all three D/A processors I tried…" Les testen her.
