Sbooster BOTW P&P ECO MKII for me, I find I use the incisive neutral filter more than before. Prior to the Booster I almost always listened to it warm and rolled off.
Power supply poll for Chord Qutest
I’m looking for experience-based opinions here on which linear power supplies Agoners have found to provide the greatest benefit when used with Chord Qutest DAC. I have personal experience with upgraded MCRU and Swagman Labs supplies in different applications, and have been quite happy.
Here are the models I am currently considering:
-MCRU - Option 2
-Swagman Labs SE
-Sbooster BOTW P&P ECO MKII
-Teddy Pardo MiniTeddy 5/2
My budget is under $500. If you swear by other lps products you’ve used with the Qutest DAC, I would be interested to hear about it. I have several different PCs on hand to try with a new lps. FWIW, I tried a 5v ifi XPOWER switching supply I have on hand, and it sounds awful with the Qutest, but sounds very good in other applications, including with a Chord Mojo2.
Thanks in advance for your input.

And the benefits of a good power supply to digital gear is usually significant and immediate. That’s why you rarely see switching supplies in very high end audio gear. Look into it. in
