Chord Qutest - would you buy it again?

I have had the Chord Qutest for about a month. It is a very good little DAC. You get a lot of quality for the money. I have been impressed with it.  I have the Chord Hugo M Scaler ordered to pair with the Qutest to take it to an even high level.

If you are not sure though , it is always better to try a demo of The Qutest at your local Chord dealer. A home demo would be even better.
It does require some break in time of a few days. It can be a little strident   at first. 

I forgot to mention that the Audio-gd R8 also has FPGA programable and 7 different filters.
Also its a ladder DAC with an incredible analog sound. 
You wont regret buying one. 

Just ordered the RME ADI2 DAC

My Qutest is paired w a Lumin streamer, Line Magnetic integrated driving Devore 0/93s. Find the Dac to be a superb match in the system. 

No I wouldn’t . I had a qutest fed from  a lumin streamer via kimber coaxial digital cable. I was not happy with the sound even with  all the filters. I sold it and bought a theta digital gen viii series 3, which is a class a preamp plus dac. It sounds amazing. The step up over the qutest was like night and day . I also feed my ayre cx-5 CD player through it and redbook cds sound very nice. Would recommend the gen viii .
