Using a Chord M-Scaler with the Expert Pro 220

[Redwingnine]

Tried using the Chord M-Scaler with the Pro 220. Selected the third selection from the M-Scaler,  which provides the 220 Pro with a 176.4KHz or 192KHz input signal.  Makes a significant improvement with 220 Pro playback.  Every aspect of playback is simply better.  There is a noticeable difference with clarity,  soundstage,  you name any aspect of playback, it's improved. 

It's really noticeable when switching to streaming inputs,  where the M-Scaler is not in the chain.   From a sonic quality perspective,  sound is better from the computer source via USB to the M-Scaler vice direct streaming to the 220 Pro.  

If you happen to have a M-Scaler for your headphone setup, definitely look into using it with the Expert or Expert Pro.  You will be pleasantly surprised.

In my system, with my speakers - the difference between 220 Pro and 440 Pro is pretty significant and worth the cost.

I have no doubt.  I had the same improvement when I had ATC SCM19 speakers.  I was somewhat surprised to find out my current speakers didn't benefit audibly with a dual D-Premier setup. In most cases,  would think a dual Expert setup would be better.  When my 250 Pro comes back, will be keen to evaluate the sound to see what deltas between it and the 220 Pro are.
