I used the MCRU linear power supply with the QuteHD and heard a significant improvement. What I liked most was that it gave the dac more weight to the sound and filled it out so that it was able to convey a more realistic sense of the instruments being played in your livingroom. Previous to the MCRU, I thought it sounded a tad lean. The MCRU is a two box unit hand crafted in the UK for $340 shipped. I haven't heard the King Rex or CI, so can't comment on those. My guess is that the you will also hear a dramatic improvement with any of these 3.
PSU for QuteHD
Well I am going to for it and get a Linear PSU for my Qute even though I tried to convince myself early on it was not necessary.
I really am digging the QuteHD especially since I took a dive into the wonderful world of computer audio.
So I narrowed down my choices to the King Rex and the Channel Island PSU units.
The King has a 48VA transformer while the CI Audio is only 35VA but I have no clue what that means :)
I like that the CI is made here in my home state of California and it is $100 less.
I don't see a lot of mention of CI Audio on this forum but if anyone has experiences please chime in. Thanks
