Maybe try Mogami gold cables first - I find them more than adequate. Interesting I couldn’t find much better than Mogami for cables. However, I found the difference in source was important. The difference between using a standard Qnap Nas with Minimplayer upnp vs. dedicated nuc with Rock / Roon...- mb3

I’ll probably stick with 1.41 for now. No issues. Works perfectly. Great sounding DAC.- mb3

Sounds random. If it was me I would update to 1.42 using a PC. Hope it all works out. I’ve found all these devices need burping from time to time. Good luck 👍🏻- mb3

Yes I found dropouts occur occasionally and randomly. Not related to file format. Network is cat 6 so shouldn’t be that. I found after listening for a few mins dropouts don’t happen. Just wondering what did you experience?- mb3

Imo both qutest and a26 are really good. Main difference is the network connection on a26. All dacs should have this 😊- mb3

I had a qutest and a26 side by side for a couple of weeks. Not night and day. Pros and cons only. A26 has better stereo image. Nice clear imaging for sure. Networking is a great feature. Qutest has nice holographic sound. Not too much in it. Could happy live with both. Much prefer a26 to d90s...- mb3

I found Furman products are good. At least they protect expensive equipment from power surges. Maybe they can provide other improvements!!- mb3

Yes absolutely, so comfortable. Build was fine. No issues with build and comfort. 😊 just goes to show that you need to check things yourself. I was expecting a cheaply made, squeaky headphone that was bass lite. Opposite was true!- mb3
