Offered is „M Scaler“ 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 1097230351 ends on 25.10.2026 at 07:46 o'clock.
At €2,000, this looks like a strong buy: it sits comfortably below the €2,422 25th percentile and well under the €2,660 median for recent comparable EUR listings. That puts it in bargain territory rather than merely “fair,” assuming the unit is complete and functioning properly.
The Chord Electronics SCALER is well regarded for what it does best: very clean upsampling and a real sense of refinement ahead of a serious DAC or streamer, especially in systems that reward better digital front ends. A good-condition example at this price is the kind of listing worth moving on quickly, particularly if it includes the original power supply, packaging, and any proof of careful ownership.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
