Schiit vs. Mytek vs. Chord - looking for some thoughts

“Digital” sound is also one of the things that cannot be an attribute of the dac for me, but not at the expense of sacrificing on detail and dynamics. Also, not looking for analytical/dry sound. isnrmack, theo...how would you characterize the sound of the Chord Qutest? Do you have tubes somewhere in the chain, what source are you using to feed the dac?

I have a prior generation of Bifrost Multibit. I do also have the Qutest and the Brooklyn DAC+. The Bifrost Multibit is on a HeadFi setup. I like it a lot there and I have not tried moving it over to my speaker systems. I am using the Mytek Brooklyn DAC+ currently on my speaker system and love it a lot. I have not reached the point to swap out the DAC+ and put the Qutest in place of it. But I can tell you that if you want some filters to play with, I think the Qutest is for you. The DAC+ is customizable in other ways. Not sure about filters though. I would have to check again. I can tell you that you will not go too wrong with either the DAC+ or the Qutest though. 

Take a look at the Audio Mirror Tubadour III SE tube DAC.

I use it with an Innous Zenith MKII streamer, Herron VSTP-3A (ro2) preamp, and NAD M22v2 power amp to Tannoy DC8Ti speakers.  I love the sound.
