Chord Electronics Qutest DAC - Official Thread
It's less to do with the quality of the signal and nothing at all to do with the quality of the toslink cable. Chord sent me a cable that didn't work at 192kHz and neither did my own QED Reference cable. (I also tried other cheaper cables that had been proved to work by other users). Chord...- blueninjasix

Chord Electronics Qutest DAC - Official Thread
Despite what it says in the Qutest manual, Chord do not guarantee that optical toslink will work at 24bit 192kHz. The correct spec is on the Chord website as 24bit 96kHz. This was confirmed to me by Chord themselves.- blueninjasix

I use a pseudo set of cables from designacable from Amazon.uk Pseudo Balanced RCA Phono to Male XLR Lead (PAIR). Van Damme Starquad Cable to connect Qutest to my balanced preamp. Works well for me- blueninjasix

An exploration of Chord DAVE, MScaler, Qutest, and Holo May, HQPlayer
I'm shocked at this report that the static problem at 768 is still there with src-dx. I was under the impression that the root cause was the Chord USB input which was bypassed by double bnc?- blueninjasix

Audeze LCD-2C Classic - Impressions Thread
I bought the new version second hand without hearing the original. I was put off buying the original version (which to some sounds better) because of cracking issues in the wooden cups.- blueninjasix

Watts Up...?
In January, I was lucky enough to sit front of stalls at The Bridgewater Hall, Manchester for Mahler 3. Alice Coote singing directly down at me. A few days later the BBC broadcast the concert but the difference was night and day. I'm sure the main difference came from the position of the...- blueninjasix
