Connecting your source to Hugo M Scaler 2.0
Connecting Hugo M Scaler to DAVE, TT 2 or Qutest 3.0
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.
