Anybody here upgrade from Chord Qutest DAC"


Chord Qutest is a strong contender, especially with linear power supply, but I’m curious about greener pastures, or at least different-colored pastures. Think my system is good enough to notice: ear 868l pre, pass xa30.8, omega alnico Xrs speakers. Streaming only.

Anybody here upgrade from chord qutest with other chord dacs or different brands altogether? What improved, what was lost?

hahaha add m scaler, then you feel the qutest isn't good enough - need a tt2 hugo or dave

never ends - guess there are worse diseases  :)
I know, it's a crazy perfectionist pursuit, but damn if it isn't fun too.

But seriously, anyone upgrade from a chord qutest?
