Yes they are, it's the Elise, and it's a fantastic amp.

Haha yes it is a great amp indeed and also very nice for tube rolling.

You're right, best amp I've had for tube rolling, the different tube combinations you can use with this amp are almost endless, and it pairs really well with the 2Qute.

The 2Qute brings the Elise some great dynamics & resolution, I love the combo.
What tubes are you using with your Elise?

 

[Scutey]

I use quite a few, at the moment I'm using EL32/CV1052 as a quad, same tubes in the pic, also EL3N, as drivers, with Tung Sol 5998 for powers, Mullard 6080, or even the Svetlana, also TS 5998 and Psvane CV 181-T, other driver tubes that are very nice are Ken Rad 6F8G, sometimes RCA 6sn7 gt, but the best I have ever heard is the quad of the CV1052, the sound is glorious. I see you have some nice tubes in your Elise.

Nice ! I've never tried the quad el32 set-up.
Now I am using 5998 and psvanes.
But we digress from the 2Qute topic .
in conclusion... a "2Qute Elise" is highly recommended !

I'll second that!, btw have you had a look at the Elise thread?, if not here's the link. Back on topic!, after Getting the Elise, my single best buy has definitely been the 2Qute.

What source do you use with the 2Qute?

Hope someone can help me with this:

Got a 2qute to use with my Burson ha160, but get a terrible hum from the headphones. Have tried a Mac connected via USB and a streamer connected via toslink, same with both.

However if I connect the 2qute to a different amp, a Cambridge audio amp, I get no hum or noise whatsoever.

How can this be?

Might be something to do with your amps transformer. My Naim Nait 5si hums like a hornets nest sometimes (with and without my 2Qute. It might be a ground loop or some kind of issue relating to your electricity supply. Perhaps try a different socket or circuit and see if that has any impact? It could also be that something else plugged in elsewhere is having some influence.

I removed the ground from the Burson and that got rid of the problem. Question is, is the chord grounded so that the the Burson doesn't has to be?

I need some advice for my 2Qute, recently I bought Wywires Platinum USB for my 2Qute but no matter what I try with every usb slot of my PC & office PC, 2Qute can't be detect with Wywires but no problem with stock cable. At first I thought problem come from Wywires but after I bring it to test with other DAC such Myteck Manhattan & Brooklyn, it's work perfectly fine then it's mean problem may occur from 2Qute...
so how can I solve this problem? if someone know how to solve, please educate me, thank you.

PS : I ever use JPS Superconductor V long time ago with 2Qute without problem though.

 

[JezR]

Have you installed the 2Qute driver for PC? I don't use a PC myself, just a thought.

Does Wywires Platinum USB allow the USB power signal to reach 2Qute? Some USB cables made for hi-fi prevent the USB power signal from reaching the DAC. 2Qute requires the power from the USB cable to power the circuit that interprets the digital data.

The optical input is the reference for sound quality with 2Qute, so distrust a USB cable if it sounds different.

Merry X-mass.Of course you don't need the drivers if you are content with music files up to 96 khz and a pc is not a must, but if you don't use the usb port the 2qute can only be used as a DAC fed from a cd player.It's a bit of a waste to use such a fantastic player as a CD dac only.Nevertheless it improves CD playing enormously.
