Chord M-Scaler and Should I Want One?

I have an MScalar which I will try out during my DAC upgrades, keeping it in the audio chain only if it improves sonics. When I reach my end game DAC, then i’ll decide whether to keep it or not.  

rob watts clearly states the scaler and tt2 models were developed in the same time frame, in some ways the fpga code for conversion and filtering written into the tt2 is optimized for the scaler fronting it... otoh dave has even more computing power but was a predecessor in deveopment time frame by a couple years, not to say there isn’t benefit to be had with an upscaled input feeding it...

my experience is the simply that the scaler feeding the tt2 makes it smoother and more spacious sounding, yet with no loss of detail/micro-dynamics, transients are more effortless and cleaner/more natural - the term i have used in an earlier post iirc is that somehow the musical ’bits’ seem glued back together more like the real thing, more seamlessly, with the scaler working

conversely, removing the scaler makes the tt2 sound more hifi -- more treble energy but in a glare-y sense, music seems sharper and more uptight - on my system the difference is immediately noticeable, no need to strain to hear it (which can be the case in trying to hear the difference among other finer dacs, say for instance, weiss 501 vs bricasti m1se)

I love my m Scaler and Dave combo, but I could never get the double BNC connection to work well.  Too many dropouts and pops while playing high res or DSD files.  I tried moving from BNC 1/2 to 3/4 on Dave with slight improvement but still occurring.  Synergistic research Galileo SX digital cables.  Red book files were playing fine, but anything above 16/44.1, annoying pops would return every 10 sec or so!   Did web search and sounds like a common problem for many Chord users and even Rob Watts admits on a forum.  Single BNC would limit the otherwise maximum 764 kHz to 384 kHz, which is still the maximum limit on many top DACS out there.  So, I removed one cable and no dropouts or pops since no matter what files I play.  If anyone out there was able to circumvent this issue and knows how to run dual BNC cables, please let me know.  Thanks in advance.
