@cakyol Qutest is an excellent DAC. I had it and I can vouch for it. And you can believe what you believe but that doesn’t make it a fact. Chord has Hugo TT2, DAVE and the M-Scaler for a reason.
I have no experience with Meitner so I can’t speak to how it sounds and whether or not it’s better than the Qutest, but I can tell you with all certainty that my Bricasti M3 is considerably superior in every respect. You need a trained ear, the room and the system capable of resolving these improvements and you will hear it. The Qutest isn’t an end game DAC by any stretch of imagination.
DAC’s
Hello, curious on everyone’s thoughts. I’m still building my system. I came across a really good deal on a Meitner MA3 dac. It’s from an authorized dealer and they offered to sell me one NIB for 7k. I have read and read about dacs and I am getting tired. Haha. I really like the Denafrips Terminator 2, Holo and the lumin T3 being the cheapest of them all. Once I factor in a streamer I am already close or over the 7k. Also I don’t need a dac for anything other then just streaming. Thank you

Good to know you like the Bricasti. However, it seems way out of my budge at about between $5k - 7k from what I have seen online. Is the sound quality differential really worth the extra $3-5k ? That is where I am having difficulty in justifying it. Plus.. I agree my older ears are probably not worth anything more than the $2k I was prepared to spend for the Qutest.

@cakyol I would assume that:

@jjss49 Sir, I can get one for 7k NIB from a dealer. That is part of why I posted this to begin with, but thank you. |
