When I compared the QF with Heimdall XLR, I don't recall hearing too much of a difference, but it was on my DAC. Maybe the higher output voltage plus stronger output devices minimized the differences.
That's why I didn't think twice about switching between the two. But after that first listen, I was surprised. It may also be the phono stage is more sensitive to cables.
Then again, since I compared the two in XLR form I had made a couple changes. New listening room, speaker cable, and capacitor upgrade for the power conditioner. As the saying goes...everything matters.
