Offered is „MScaler (Paket mit BNC)“ by Chord Electronics as second-hand device from the category „D/A Converter“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 4413795782 ends on 25.10.2026 at 11:24 o'clock.
This is a respected upsampling/reclocking piece that sits high in Chord’s digital chain, and €4,000 is ambitious versus the recent used market. With a median of €2,463 and a 75th percentile of €2,871, this asks well above the usual range, so it needs to justify itself with exceptional condition, completeness, or a strong extras package.
What keeps it appealing is the M Scaler’s very real reputation for sharpening timing, lowering glare, and giving compatible DACs a more spacious, more resolved presentation. If the unit is clean, from a careful owner, and includes the original power supply, cables, and box, it remains a serious buy for someone already invested in Chord or chasing the last word in digital refinement. At this price, though, the seller is asking for top-tier presentation.

Chord Electronics, a British high-fidelity powerhouse, traces its roots to the aviation industry. Founded in 1989 by John Franks, a former Marconi Avionics engineer, the company emerged from his early 1980s innovations in ultra-reliable, high-frequency switching power supplies for aircraft electronics. Initially too costly for commercial viability, the designs became feasible with advancing components, launching Chord from its Kent headquarters in a renovated pumphouse that remains its manufacturing heart.
The brand excels in premium amplifiers and digital-to-analog converters (DACs), blending Franks' analog prowess with digital expertise from FPGA specialist Rob Watts. Early power amplifiers quickly won acclaim from professional studios like the BBC, Abbey Road, and Skywalker Sound, establishing credibility before shifting focus to consumer hi-fi. Iconic products like the Hugo and Mojo DACs exemplify their boundary-pushing approach, alongside integrated amps and streamers, all handcrafted in the UK without compromise on power, precision, or musicality.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Chord commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its uncompromising engineering, aerospace-grade reliability, and bold innovation. Independent and proudly British, it sets benchmarks in transparency and dynamics, attracting buyers who demand reference-level performance over mass-market concessions.
