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.

Yes. It did provide a small amount of improvement. Wound up swapping out the SCM19 for a pair of Dynaudio Focus 360s. The SAM helps out the 360s quite a bit.
