Alchemyman, I will be curious to see what your thoughts are. I tried 4 different DACs before deciding and the first couple hours had me committed. I am using a Audio Research Ref5se and contacted Audio Research as to what output setting and if there might be a concern of overload, and they said that 3v was no issue. But they went on to add that the Chord products were well respected and that I should experiment on 1,2 or 3 to establish the best sound. Right now I am using 2 and find it sounds so good I see no reason to experiment. I just ordered a new Synergistic Research cable and should have it later this week. I had been using a Kimber AGDL but wanted to get 75ohms.
Again let me know what your experience are with the Cutest.
