Ordered 789 AAA as seems to be a bit of hype about thx at the moment

A2

hello all, my current music chain is as follows PC- sotm sms 200- chord qutest- Beyerdynamic a2 amp- Beyerdynamic T1 G2 or DT1900 pro I have recently purchased a topping d50s to pair with my Darkvoice but tried it in the chain above removing the qutest, and noticed almost no difference. I...

I have similar setup however my amp is the beyerdynamic a20 and headphones the beyerdynamic t1 g2. I believe the beyerdynamic amps all seem to add compression to the sound to kind of balance out all low middle and high gains, this is why they are popular with mastering.

I was trying to make my mind up on going with the Lks da004 or the chord qutest. Originally I did purchase the LKS but the sale fell through. I live in the UK and in the end I went with chord as its sold locally so I could have a listen before purchasing. The chord dac is good but I it doesn't...

Can anyone advise if my qutest would match a pair of klipsch heresy III speakers, at the moment I have a tube amp connected to some DALI OPTICON 1's.

Hello all, below are my two setups for vinyl and digital music Debut carbon turntable / les box tube mm phono amp / dark voice tube amp / beyerdynamic t1 g2 Quobuz / mac (roon) / sotm sms USB / chord qutest dac / beyerdynamic a2 amp / beyerdynamic t1 I'm looking for an alternative for my t1...

Hello all, just after a lite advise on a headphone amp. At the moment I have a beyerdynamic a2 amp feeding My t1 G2 600ohm headphones with a chord qutest in the chain. I. Finding a the sound to be very bright and was looking at possibly investing in a tube amp (darkvoice) to add a bit of warmth...

Most comparisons between Dave and LKS that I have come across online, have all stated that the Dave wins hands down. I was just interested in a comparison between my chord qutest and the lks as they are priced the same. Also the introduction on the new chord m scaler is supposed to take the...

Evening all, I was pondering over purchasing this dac for a while but in the went with a chord qutest as I live in the UK and its a British made unit with a good warranty. I still keep an eye on this forums and just wondering if anbody had compared the Lks to the qutest or Hugo 2.

OK thanks for response, it's seems some qutest owners report that the filters make a huge difference but going by your reply it's very subtle. I mostly listen to tidal/quobuz so maybe if dsd 512 was the source filters would have a bigger effect.

Maybe remove my sotm sms USB and try direct optical, USB is much more sharp and bright

I'm a little Concerned that I cannot hear any differnce when changing filters on my qutest, my Beyerdynamic T1 G2 headphones and beyerdynamic a2 amp aren't top end but neither are they lower end.

i have a pair of beyerdynamic t1 g2 headphones paired with a beyer A2 amp fed by my qutest, i cant hear any difference when changing the filters.

After a little help, having trouble using quobuz with my qutest via USB. Quobuz just struggles to connect with both asio and wasabi on both my mac and Windows pc. For the time being I have switched back to Tidal masters but not a massive fan although I do like the Roon integration. I have...

Anybody have any input on the new singxer su6, £600 Is a bit of cash.

I have also looked at the singxer as an option for my qutest, but most people tend to purchase them for there hdmi (i2s). I previously owned a schiit Mani that was highly rated but I sold and purchased a SMS 200 with is USB.

I'm using a sotm sms-200 which works perfectly with roon but you will still need a pc to run roon, I use quobuz and bubble upbp which does not require a pc.

I have the sotm sms 200 with a dedicated power supply and it made a big difference for me in sound quality, when I try and switch back to optical the sound seems lifeless.

Evening all, any recommendations on a solid state amp under £1000 I have a tube amp at the moment but think a little detail is lost and warmth is added with tubes.

It's certainly a more relaxed sound and some people prefer it, order a cheap cable from amazon and try it.

I have mac book pro which I connected to my qutest via both optical and USB. The issue with optical is that any audio is passed through the sound card, USB was the more clear and better clarity. I ended up purchasing a sotm sms 200 which has a good improvement on the sound.

Ok just subscribed to quobuz new studio which offers 24/192 and comparing to Tidals MQA via roon labs as the decoder to my qutest. I had to mess around with my setup to try and find how to link quobuz to play through my sotm sms 200 USB which was a real headache. Setups as follows Tidal MQA...

Roon and audirava will decode more than tidal, only a fully supported dac can do 100% but I'm happy with the software root. Both roon and audirava support tidal streaming basically you log into your account on either of the above and away you go.
