Interviewing Rob Watts about the Hugo M Scaler

Lucrand la recenzia scrisa despre Chord M Scaler am cerut niste documente tehnice celor de la Chord iar ei mi-au produs un interviu cu Rob Watts.

I just went from a Topping D90 to a used discounted Chord Dave and wow just wow! I honestly didnt think I was missing much in the recording before. it is an unbelievable difference ❤

I hear the small and soft instruments he talks about separately from the loudest instruments, even before I knew who he was and what he says he hears I heard it all. God bless Rob Watts.

I always love listening to Rob speak, he knows exactly what he's doing and believes in his work. He is getting ridiculed by people that don't understand the work of sync functioning and tap-length in filters, I'm glad he's continuing his work and not listening to those trolls.

This year mentioned in the video is now nearly past. Will the Dave scaler be out soon? We will see. Great video! Thanks for the limited number of very relevant questions and lots of time for mr Watts to reply. I now understand a lot beter why scaling at such an advanced level is important when using (16bit) digital data. Since higher bitrates are scarcely available, using carefully tweaked maths is logica and, for mr Watts, do-able. Still I think that all this effort put into products that only a couple of thousand people will ever use, puts all this effort at a very low level of factual relevance. I wouldn't be surprise if mr Watts will be most remembered for the device that people have actually used. Which would be Mojo(2) and qutest.

Congratulations for the interview! Very intreting indeed! I would love if Rob gave us some examples (links maybe) of recordings with the transients stripped so we can experiment that effect he's taking about (instruments losing their identity). Also, it would be nice to find out what tracks he's using for hist listening tests (so we can test ourselves).

[@Dusty-Audio]

Thank you! I think he posted the list of tracks on headfi.

@@Dusty-Audio I'll try to find them. Thanks!

Multa vorba si produse scumpe care nu-si merita banii. Cam asta e Chord.

​@@Dusty-Audio Foarte detaliat si constuctiv argumentul tau. Typic astora care sunt bagati in seama si dintr-o data se cred vedete. Mi-am luat Chord Mojo la £400 ca a fost recomandat de absolut toate site-urile mari. Ceva probleme ca se incingea si se oprea singur. Am schimbat 3 pe Amazon UK. Sunet fain care chiar mi-a placut dar fiind incepator nu aveam comparatie. Cateva luni mai tarziu am cumparat un Topping DX3 Pro pentru un prieten si l-am testat si eu. Surpriza!!! O chinezarie la £160 a sters praful cu Chordul meu. Sunet expandat, curat, cu vocale coerente si naturale. In comparatie Mojo-ul se auzea inghesuit si gros. Totusi Mojoul castiga la detaliile fine cand ascultam atent dar din pacate era foarte greu perceptibil pentru ca era acoperit de inghesuiala si grosimea sunetului. De atunci am inceput sa ma documentez ce anume m-a impresionat la chinezarie si ce nu mi-a lacut la Mojo. Pe toate forumurile am gasit aceeasi chestie, cum ca Mojo a fost special facut sa fie "very warm" si aparent perceptia mea este de inghesuiala si grosime din cauza asta dar el cica nu e asa. Ok, am strans bani si mi-am luat Chord Hugo 2 la £1900. Ba, mi-a placut! Am fost super incantat de el si de sunet. Toate problemele care le-am avut cu Mojo, nu existau la Hugo. Sunet expandat si clar cu tonalitate superba. 4 luni mai tarziu prietenul meu si-a luat alte chinezarii direct de pe China. Topping A90 si D90 cu aprox £800 ambele. Nu-ti imaginezi cate teste am facut cu ele pana sa ma conving ca Chord e pur si simplu overpriced. Nu zic ca sunt produse proaste, dar garantat nu-si merita banii!

P.S. Castile cu care am facut majoritatea testelor au fost Audeze EL-8 Open Back.
