I like to spend some time deciding which direction my next HIFI move will be and the Etude is another one on my list, as space is limited for the boxes that I buy Chord always has a small footprint which is a plus for me.

Glen Croft sadly died in a motorbike accident not so long ago, he was very much a maverick designer, and short signal paths were very much part of his design philosophy, on the output of this particular design, the positive and negative are swapped as this eliminates one stage in the amp and...

Personally, I like the Alpair speakers as rears but wouldn't swap them for front speakers with any of the other ones that I have built, which are TL2, DTQWT III, and Thor Evo 4 designed by Joe D'appollito.

With a power amp in between, TL2 M/T is currently run with Croft 7R monoblocks with the 18" BMS using a Hypex plate amp, whilst the Alpair rear speakers are currently run with a Rotel RB-03. I may be upgrading the power amps in the future AGD has caught my eye at the moment but I tend to change...

I am running the Troels Gravsen TL2 as front speakers and the Alpairs as rears both off the Dave. DIY speakers can have some great savings money-wise and still be mighty impressive to listen to, the TL2 can be built in different versions with a choice of super tweeter, I got some of the last...

like many of you here I have spent a long time building my system over many years and finally arrived at what I consider to be transparent, my second hand DAVE is the final piece of the jigsaw and I'm currently running it direct to power amps. My System. Audrivana/ Quoboz. BricastiM5. Gothic...

Does anyone know if these use the new Bluetooth LE? It should make the range from the source much greater which is a useful feature for me. Thanks.

Hi Lokust, sorry already sold.

Bump

The music is sent in a packet from your computer to the Bricasti M5 where it is converted into a stream of music well away from your noisy computer. It's easy to use just an on/off switch but you do need Audrivana or another brand to do the DLNA connection.

I use Audirvana/Quboz, and added a Bricasti M5 as a renderer, the difference was very surprising (in a good way).

Hello electrovox, I live in Provence so no problem sending it to Holland, I will include the cost of postage in the asking price of £875.00 or €987.00, I have an account in the UK and one in France so payment in either currency is OK.

I can also ship outside of Europe if required.

Chord Qutest is for sale due to an upgrade, price includes shipping to anywhere in Europe or UK.

I have now returned and am available for any questions or interest.

If anyone is replying to this ad please don't expect a fast reply as I am traveling back to the UK due to a death in the family. If you are interested I will get back to you but please understand that I may not be prompt.

Very smooth transaction and Adrian was responsive to all messages. Buy with confidence.

Excellent, as new condition original box. I have upgraded to DAVE. Please PM me for any further info. The price includes shipping to anywhere in UK or Europe. Will accept equivalent in Euros.

Better be quick he won't have both for long.:smile:

Could you tell me if this is still for sale and what the price is in Euros and or pounds?

Thanks for all the helpful comments. @sm60 I do miss my Ref 3 when it's not in the system, it had to be repaired a few years back and sadly is currently on the Techs bench being resuscitated. I using my substitute DIY DCG3 dual mono SS pre whilst the Ref 3 is in critical care and it does a...

When running either of the 3Chord DACs with an m-scaler through a pre-amp (tube or ss) are they much closer together sound-wise or is it the case that the DAVE or TT2 get most of their benefit going direct to power amps? I have a M/Quetest at the moment going into an ARC Ref 3. Has anyone tested...

Yes, you are correct the M5 only renders music the storage would have to be on a separate NAS, I'm not sure if there are any advantages to having them separated or not. I can say that the M5 is worth an audition.

Bricasti M5 could be added to that list.

Thanks for that, I wasn't sure with eARC being audio only and the varible pin configuration available with Holo products suggested to me that it may be possible. I guess it must say eARC on the audio device like it does on the new Lumin P1.
