Chord Electronics M Scaler (with Farad Super 3) DAC Up for sale is a package of the Chord M Scaler with the Farad Super3 15v Linear Power Supply. (1)Chord Mscaler, a million taps! Able to up-sampling from 88.2 to 756Khz. Best partner with Chord DACs (Dave, TT2, Qutest…). It can also output to other DAC, or different DACs at the same time. I tried the Mscaler with a few different Non-Chord DACs, they all benefited from Mscaler, even at 44.1. (2)Farad Super 3 Linear Power Supply, providing 15V linear power supply to Mscaler. An obvious upgrade to Mscaler. Darker Background and the image is
This A$4,500 asking price for the Chord Electronics M Scaler is a strong deal, sitting well below the 25th percentile of A$4,436 from recent Australian comparable listings and significantly under the median of A$4,600. With the original retail price historically around A$7,500–A$9,300, this listing offers genuine value for a unit that is widely regarded as the best digital audio upgrade available for serious hi-fi systems.
The M Scaler is well-loved because it upsamples digital inputs to a maximum of 768 kHz, delivering a vastly more rigorous interpretation of samples to your downstream DAC without adding data. It acts as an essential auxiliary piece that sits between your source and DAC, providing a greater level of resolution and detail. At this price, it represents a clear buying opportunity for enthusiasts looking to unlock the full potential of their digital chain, especially if the listing includes the original dual-BNC cables and accessories.

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.
