While both use similar dac technology, they are apparently quite different in terms of their output voltages and other electrical characteristics which should be taken into account prior to purchase. Not all dacs go well with all preamps or other components down the chain.
by the way, I went from qutest (with linear power supply) to may level 2 to wells audio cipher tube dac and found improvements with each upgrade.
