Great combo Mike!

Beautiful combination. I waited for 18 weeks to get my Blu2 to go with my Dave. I'm a happy camper too.

Love the black with silver legs. Sweet looking combo.

I’m in the middle of downsizing at the moment with the idea of reducing my box count and investment. When I bought the Chord stack I intended for it to be my headphone amp and to replace the DAC section in my Aavik U-300 Integrated amp. It also provided a CD transport to add a music source along with an Aurender N10 music streamer.

I’ve since replaced the U-300 with an LFD NCSE Integrated amp. Other changes I’ve made recently is to replace Raidho XT-2 Speakers with Harbeth 30.2 40th Anniversaries and Naim Super Lumina speaker cablles with LFD speaker cables.

i’ve decided to sell the Chord stack and replace it with an LFD DAC and Aurender Flow headphone amp.

I have full looms of Ansuz D-TC power and digital cables. This was a major investment.

l intend to sell the entire Chord stack and the Ansuz and Naim cables.

I’m making these changes because of some health issues.

if anyone is interested in what I have to sell, please PM me.

So sorry Bud, reading about your health issues. I hope your health improves and you feel better.

Looks like you’ve made some great choices in gear. LFD has an awesome reputation. I’ve thought about it many times. I’m sure it’s a wonderful match with the Harbeth and everything else.

I hope it’s nothing serious! Sorry to hear of your health issues. Good luck with the sales.

Get well soon Bud!

Get well soon Bud!

I should be more clear, my health issues are part and parcel the result of my age. I'm doing OK, just an adjustment to my lifestyle. I also feel much better about owning a more practical system.

I actually owned Harbeth 30.1's and an LFD amp and DAC in the past. I always regretted letting them go. I do miss a remote on the amp but then it might not sound so good.

I used to own the NCSE MKII with my Harbeth. Stunning sound

Just received my M Scaler last week, and I dont think the secret of how good this device is will stay secret for long

The M Scaler is probally the most important component I have ever bought

Digital fianlly sound analogue and then surpasses it

Incredible!

I found directstream from ps audio at least as wide as a tt2 and m scaler. I love the tt2 and Dave but wasn’t sold on the m scaler as a vfm proposition. Just that tt2 does a lot more for money in say upgrading from a Qutest/2 qute or dacs at that level eg rme Adi2.

the Bartok is a better dac than a tt2 and m scaler combo and even though expensive it is vfm for what it achieves , obviously more cash though. I’d prefer a Dave alone to a tt2 and m scaler combo for about same money. Much more a resolver if not as rounded and with bass.

i think the m scaler is good but it’s kind of a money no object type device for finishing off a HiFi rather than something to add to HiFi before you’ve finished off where the dac needs to be. That was/is my issue with it. Tbh I don’t think there is a massive need to widen sound to a level where another dac can achieve similar feat, this widening of which the m scaler is mostly achieving.
