IS THE WEISS 204 A SUBSTANIAL UPGRADE FRON THE CHORD QUTEST

My system is as follows:

  1. Martin Logan 11A Impressions loudspeakers
  2. SVS SB-4000 pair of subwoofers 
  3. Chord Qutest Dac
  4. Lumin U2 mini streamer
  5. Bryston 4B3 cubed power amp-500/ channel into 4 ohms.
  6. Rogue Audio RP-1 preamp, Bryston BP-19 preamp on order.
  7. Seeking a DAC with higher resolution than my Chord Qutest. maximum budget is $5000.00
  8. Question: Would the Weiss 204 be a substantial upgrade over the Qutest? The Weiss would come in at $3500.00 plus $1000 for
  9. Modright Linear Power supply addition.  Not looking to go sideways or only receive a small improvement. The Weiss all in is three times the price of the Chord.
  10. Thank you  in advance for any guidance you can offer.

I can’t decide wether to buy a DDC to go with my Pontus ll or get a different DAC.

While I can’t answer your exact Question, I can say I am happy with the Weiss I have.  After going then the rabbit hole of dacs, I found a mention of Weiss in a thread.  I did some research and liked the dna of the Weiss.  I did purchase the updated 2024 version of the Weiss dac 501 mk2.
