DAVE w/ or w/out M Scaler?

DAVE alone or DAVE + M Scaler?

May I have the opinions of those with either configuration?

i currently run DAVE alone. Cheers and stay well

He mentioned a video of the M-scaler they were going to make but it was never made or released AFAIK.

BTW I upscale all my 44.1 files to 88.2 and 48 to 96 from my Lumin U1 (mega) to the M-scaler via USB. Making this first increase before the M-scaler made the sound quality more natural/believable YMMV. Then I use Silver Dragon dual BNC to TT2 upscaled to 705.6/768 khz. There is also a footnote in the instructions that mention 88.1.I have no further plans for change at the moment. The thing I would like to mention here is a DAVE video made for Upscale Audio by Rob Watts (go to the Dave sales page on the Upscale website about 5 minutes in on a 10 minute video). Mr Watts tells Kat that the preferred way to feed the DAVE is by using an Optical connection. This comment from the man himself. What do you think about this.
