Chord Electronics Qutest DAC - Official Thread
I bought a Qutest at the beginning of 2024 because a local brick and mortar shop was closing up and selling all their Chord stock at half price(!) I actually bought two of them (sold one) and a Mojo 2. Cutting straight to the chase, both the Qutest and the Mojo 2 are very good. I fooled...- knownothing2

DAC Roundup: Geshelli Dayzee, Denafrips Ares 12th, Chord Qutest, Topping E70 Velvet
If I do that, I will have to find a new home first - wife acceptance factor (for credit card bill) is maxed out :ksc75smile: I agree 100% that the Chord products are just doing something totally different from anything I have heard, though there are quite a few popular DACs I haven’t sampled…...- Promee

LTA VELO - Headphone Amp / Preamp
One thing I’ve decided after playing around with the Velo this weekend is that in my main system its not a good combination with Gustard R26 DAC/ Magnepan 1.7, as all 3 have some degree of dynamic compression. Shopping around for a used Chord Qutest as Mojo remedies much of the problem of...- davide256

Dan Clark Audio E3 Review: Interview, Measurements, Impressions
Haven't heard anything on your list but the E3... Are you seeking isolation and low noise leakage? E3 has okay noise isolation and medium noise leakage. It's not anything like an open back's noise leakage but it's still noticeable. Based on my E3 ownership, it has a slightly smaller...- jeffjefferson1

Chord Mojo 2 Thread ___ [product released January 31, 2022 -- starting on page 95 of thread]
Huh. No idea. Useful to know. Based on the quoted PM, it sounds like the answer is that it ultimately depends on the cable.- Hypops

Chord Mojo 2 Thread ___ [product released January 31, 2022 -- starting on page 95 of thread]
The Chord gear is designed to support 192k, but the optical component suppliers will only support 96k, so Chord are now obliged to now only guarantee 96K. The full rationale is contained in this post.- miketlse

Cayin HA-3A, a Compact 6V6s Transformer-coupled Tube Amplifier
I think you should love the Cyan, I am using the Spring 3 & from what I’ve read the Cyan is pretty similar. I had a Qutest, & although very good the Holo is a big step up, probably would have gone for the Cyan 2 if it had been available at the time.- mudguardiain

Cayin HA-3A, a Compact 6V6s Transformer-coupled Tube Amplifier
I had the DMP-A6 Master Edtion, which is a great device as a streamer, the screen is great and all the functions spot on, but the DAC with the HA-3A sounded too "Digital", a bit harsh, after 1 month, I stopped looking to VU meters, spectrum analyser... and sold it! I've bought a Chord Qutest...- npatrix

Schiit Kara - Impressions Thread
So I’ve been enjoying the Kara pre amping my WA22. The 1X gain setting is terrific with the WA22 while using my planar magnetic headphone, the D-8000. The DAC I use the most is the Chord Qutest and I set that to 3V RMS. The sound is incredible. The Kara has really elevated my system nicely...- nephilim32

Black Ice Glass FX DAC DSD Wi-Fi
I was considering the Qutest however I'm liking what the Glass FX brings to the table. Nice folks at Black Ice Audio and I've purchased from them before. I was thinking of getting a nice FPGA or R2R DAC for a more analogue sound but this may be a good alternative and value.- G8torbyte

Chord Electronics Qutest DAC - Official Thread
I would add that like ALL the other Chord dacs that can be used with an Mscaler it is imo, essential to do so if one wants to hear its full potential with Unamplified Acoustic Instruments. And yes that also includes Dave imo. I am of course very interested to hear what the new Quartet Scaler...- Christer

Thank you very much for writing such a detailed review of your experience. I know the effort that goes into it and sometimes it takes a while to do because it's a lot harder than people think. We appreciate you. I have a wish. I don't know who or why but the people at Chord need to be told...- chrisyak

DENAFRIPS 'ARES' R2R discrete ladder DAC - close up view
Omg, this is exactly what I've been looking for. Since the general consensus in the audiophile circle is that R2R is the best. So I've been trying a lot of R2R DACs trying to upgrade (Ares II included), but I somehow always fall back to my older DAC which is AK4452 (Grace SDAC Standard). Not...- Hyde00

Topping E70 Velvet DAC Review, Measurements and Comparisons
No, I don’t think that’s necessarily something to expect from a DAC, especially how I phrased it there. I think I was contrasting it with the Qutest’s unusual ability to somehow present sibilant, bright material accurately, but without it feeling fatiguing, and I have no idea how that works...- Promee
