QUARTET
Upscaler digital FPGA de dos cajas en desarrollo
Descripción ⌄
Chord Quartet es un upscaler digital de dos cajas basado en FPGA, anunciado en el Bristol Hi-Fi Show 2026. Está pendiente de su lanzamiento completo. Utiliza la tecnología de filtro WTA (Watts Transient Aligned) propietaria de Chord para reescalar audio PCM entrante y amplía la plataforma Hugo M Scaler de una sola caja.
Para quién es
Propietarios de TT2 o DAVE que buscan ir más allá de M Scaler en el procesamiento digital de referencia.
Características ⌄
- Chord Electronics' FPGA-based digital upscaler — WTA processing applied to all digital sources, debuted at Bristol 2026
- Two-box design — separate processing and power sections for maximum signal integrity, consistent with DAVE architecture
- Enquire for pricing and lead time — first units available Q2 2026
- 5× the processing power of DAVE — Chord's most ambitious digital project to date
- 108-bit lossless EQ system operating at 705.6kHz/768kHz with 10-band shelf adjustment
