    Chord Electronics Qutest DAC - Official Thread

    The 3.5mm port is for both analog and optical output ( same port size, shape) In other word, It's mini-optical port plugged into Chromecast Audio, which shape and size is identical to a 3.5mm analog port Just google "mini toslink" to check

    It's Chromecast Audio, I'm also using one for optical output to my Qutest + Hifi-Cast on Android phone. Superb for $35

    Chord Electronics Qutest DAC - Official Thread

    Fun fact: some buy a DAC because of how good it sound, then try their hardest just to change that :) I believe if there were a better solution/adapter, Chord would just include it with Qutest or sell it separately. The fact that RW only mentioned a battery bank for traveling without mentioning...

    May I ask how do you output optical to the Qutest with a laptop? (What device/hardware you use between the laptop and qutest)

    I agree that it's personal preference. I shouldnt have commented on such a matter :) on the other hand, I prefer Qutest because I think it's what music should sound like, it gives an incredible feeling whenever a song is played:)

    Don't buy the Qutest if yyou already have Yggy. It may sound differently, but wont be better (if you are serious about details of the songs, Yggy will score a big win, tbh)

    Chord Electronics Qutest DAC - Official Thread

    I only had 1 hour to listen to the Qutest today. But I was so impressed by it. I have been using YggyV2 for half a year or so, but I have always been disappointed by the amount of money I spent. (Emotionless sounding) I wont go deeper into Qutest vs YggyV2, but would love to talk about what I...

    Chord Electronics Qutest DAC - Official Thread

    I'm listening more and more to Qutest, at this point I'm very convinced by how it produces human voices, it feels superb to listen to just voices in any songs. Instrument separation and soundstage are also very good. Omg, I can't express how good human voices are with Qutest, I can really feel...

    I don't really understand your question, but I connect Yggy to MA6700 using XLR cables. No real difference between XLR and RCA so I stick to XLR.

    Chord Electronics Qutest DAC - Official Thread

    I'll do more experiments with speaker placement later. Good thing is that I did clearly hear/feel "layers" of bass with Qutest and pretty impressed by that. (no clue if "layers" is the right word to describe it, but I did hear it, and it felt good, I also think that's how bass should sound/feel...

    Chord Electronics Qutest DAC - Official Thread

    I just bought Qutest yesterday. Try to compare it to my Schiit Yggdrasil Analog2. To me and my brother, Qutest is better sounding, soundstage is more expanding (very noticable), human voice sounds more lifelike. Only thing I don't like about Qutest is its bass impact, thou not bad, but not...

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    Sending email is the way I did back then, and they replied, and it worked, until later I no longer receive email from them. I found the solution, the problem itself should be ended here, Jason himself replied, and we should stop here and keep other discussions going.

    Tech questions -> I email tech support Order question -> I email the ordering support. At first I thought the emails werent sent, so next times I also included my other email to check. It arrived at my other email. They are just ignoring the emails I guess

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    Allow me to ask this: Schiit's customer service is as crap as its name? I email you several times, to several addresses on your website, ask several questions, and recieve no response! Even when you do not want to reply, an email to tell me so would be a kind action. You make good products but...

    Which DAC from Schiit is better? Bifrost Multibit or Modi2 Multibit

    Believe me, I'm the kind of person who thought "all DACs are the same" before I listened to both Mimby and Bimby at the same time (by switching between them). With same equipments. At 1st I thought Bimby was better cuz of higher volume, but even when I turn down the volume, Bimby is still much...

    Schiit DAC

    Bifrost Multibit if your budget allows, and Yggdrasil if possible Why no Modi Multibit? Because you will learn that Bifrost Multibit is so cheap for the money vs Modi Multibit. My recommendation is to go straight for Bimby instead of buying Mimby. Just buy it, tbh

    Opera Callas Diva Loudspeakers

    My brother and I had a chance to audition these speakers in a listening room at an audio store, and completely blown away by them, especially in how good they simulate the opera-stage effects. But I can't seem to find any info about the brand (except for its website). All I know is that it is an...

    Schiit Modi Multibit and Yggdrasil

    I havent put my hand on the Yggy yet, have to wait. So I bought another amp (McIntosh 6700). And it sounds incredible even with the same DAC and speakers. Denon 1520ae sounds flat on all songs. But after buying McIntosh 6700, soundstage, 3d image, depth, ect... Everything is there. It would be...

    Thanks for clarify that they sounded similar. I think I'll pick Yggy over Bimby, because I hate something in between :)

    Schiit Modi Multibit and Yggdrasil

    Fun fact: it costs 20% more than how much one pays in US. No clue why it's called "crazy" when one just buys what he can afford :) being an audiophile or not doesn't really matter, as long as I'm happy with my purchase, it's money well-spent :) life's too short to "not-being-crazy" and to not do...
