Chord Qutest + MScaler

I sent you a PM.

Please see the link below on the Chord M-Scaler:

The bottom line is how does it sounds in your system.   TAS gives the Chord TT2 DAC and M-Scaler a good review but it also gives a good review to many other DAC’s.   I have never heard Chord equipment so I cannot comment.    

My suggestion first is to get a dedicated linear power supply for your Qutest.
i got one from Teddy Pardo for about $375.00 inc shipping and micro usb cable.

incredible improvement.

that M-scaler is kinda spendy. If you’re going that upmarket, get the TT2.
go all in!

Hey @ianrmack funny enough. I also have my qutest powered by a Teddy Pardo LPS. I've also got a Synergistic Research Master Coupler feeding the Teddy, with a SR Orange Fuse in it. Both the power cord and fuse were substantial upgrade to the sound. Highly recommended. I also have a Sonore Ultrarendu feeding the Quest as well as a Uptone EtherRegen feeding the Rednu. Both the UltraRendu and the EtherRegen were substantial for the Qutest sound, and both I wouldn't be caught dead without. More so than the Teddy feeding the Qutest. 

Thing about all these positive reviews of these vairous LPS is...No one knows all the other aspects of these systems. So in truth, it's meaningless unless you can compare apples for apples. System for system, room for room, etc. 

This is why I can't spend $500-$900 on a LPS that I would truly never know what the impact is. If they want to let me audition one in my own system sure, we can go from there.
