It is 2023 May 31 and I received my second hand Chord Hugo TT. At the moment I have Chord Dave, and previously owner/listened : Mojo, Hugo 2, Qutest, TT2 solo and with M Scaler, Mojo2. What I can say, is wow , how good Hugo TT sounds. It is warm , organic, with good bass, very good vocals...

What power/ XRL cables you're using with MM Tambaqui ? I'm getting my unit next month, curious about sound changes with different power / XLR cables.

What about vocals, tonal density of sound Yggy vs TT2 ? Can you confirm that Yggy is not giving harshness in top frequencies, or digital glare and/or sibilance on "s" especially with female vocals ? Thanks

Hi, Anyone bought Yggdrasil LiM or OG after Chord TT2 or Qutest ? Can you describe what you've found in sound ? Thanks!

Hi @Rob Watts , I'm using TT2 in preamp mode low gain with power amp Plinius SA 103. I love this combo very much for how it sounds. But recently I've read in Plinius SA 103 manual that : "The Plinius SA-103 Power Amplifier is of direct-coupled design, and offers no protection from...

Hello, I'm thinking of buying LPS for MacMini. I'll be using Uptone MMK. Can you recommend either ZeroZone/Meyan( https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131867485038 ) , or TeraDak DC-100W( https://www.teradak.com/products/75.html). Thanks!

I think soon Chord will announce few new products: 2go and maybe something else. I hope if they managed to complete 2go , maybe Qutest range network streamer coming :)

sell Qutest and Beyerdynamic A20 and buy Hugo TT2

https://darko.audio/the-darko-dac-index/ According to darko.audio, Qutest is also ranked higher.

would be very interesting to see Stack Audio Link vs Audirvana/Mac Also, did you notice, Allo released new USBridge Sig, looks very interesting too

yes , exactly my experience. I tried Anker Battery operation, and Sbooster LSPU. First of all, it looked like improvement in SQ, but after some more listeting, Chord Qutest stock PSU sounded best. So i trust Chord team , and using stock PSU. There are a lot of Rob Watts comments what we can...

I'm running Qutest optical connection 24bit 192Khz without a problem with sysconcept.ca cable and mac mini late 2014. Chord Qutest manual also says that it is capable 24bit 192Khz or DSD64 via Optical. Check you cable or pc/transport....

Adding to that, i'm also interested if anyone have ALLO DigiOne Signature + Chord Qutest ? I've read a lot very possitive reviews about it. Thanks in advance !

I did not like the Qutest sound with Sbooster lpsu, so i've sold Sbooster. For me Anker 26800 power bank changed sound - opened soundstage, gave more depth and separation between instruments. But now after grounding Qutest, it looks for me that it is more or less same as with battery, so i'm...

yes, as for the ground, just prefered that way with ifi groundhog, but you can do it other way too

noise was present before. With Sbooster Qutest was dead silent.

Hi, So, as promised - sharing my comments about Sbooster Linear PSU with Chord Qutest. After "burn in", somehow i did not hear any benefits, and actually kind of liked the sound of stock psu or power bank more. Stock PSU problem - ground noise to speakers, battery - i'm too tired to charge it...

You're right, i was referring to noise without music. With Chord Qutest stock PSU , if i set amp volume at 10-11-12 o'clock i can hear it clearly and it is annoying. With Anker PowerCore 26800 and with Sbooster it is both dead silent.

Started testing my Qutest with Sbooster MK2 5-6V linear PSU. On the manual it says that it needs at least 100 hours to "burn in". So I'll do my full comment later, but in short - it definitely better. And no RF noise , dead silent, even better than from anker Power bank 26800

i think i'm sure. And the sound is just somehow cleaner, cleaner highs as well, without harshness. And in midrange more details, better separation, depth between instruments, and voises pushed front. This is how i feel it with my system : Audirvana 3.5 + Mac mini late 2014 + Sysconcept optical +...

Hi, Welcome on board. I also have similar problems, but in my case - i hear a lot of electrical noise ( e.g. if i set amplifier volume at 11 o'clock, Qutest output 2V ). It turned out to be coming from mains electrical line. I've tried with Anker PowerCore 26800 , it does not only removed...

Anyone uses sbooster here for Qutest ? https://www.sbooster.com/botw-pp-eco-5v-6v/chord-qutest
