I have seen many senior people in forums saying that chord 2qute with the galvanic isolation and a good power source is way better than mojo, better than Hugo and almost equivalent with chord Hugo TT.
Mr watts recommends the USB input.

This is true. Also people have noticed a difference with certain power supplies even though the unit has its own power filtering. Tends to be people who have dirtier outlet.

What is the consensus regarding the power source? Would a cheap Ifi Ipower do the trick?

I read all the threads and chose the MCRU by LDA because of the 3v requirement of the 2qute.

I had chosen mine based on using it as a headfi rig. I seem to remember something else trending for speakers.

Any problems on keeping it powered on 24/7? Since it does not have any on/off switch I expect it is normal to keep it like this.

It is designed for powered on 24/7

Recommended to keep it always on?

Had mine for 6 months now. I love the glow it puts out in the living room in the dark. I never turn it off. Just got the BMC PureUSB 1 cable connected to the Vioelctric V220. Hans Zimmer  never sounded so good. Cheers.

What kind of difference does adding a power supply make? Also, recommendation's below $500? I figure that should be broad enough and anything more should be miraculous indeed.

Listening to a Teddy Pardo...
 
Hard to say definitively that it is doing anything. But here's the setup I had before: Chord 2Qute > Cavalli Liquid Carbon > Sennheiser HD800S. It was simply a little over the edge, for my preferred listening. I prefer a balanced to slightly warm signature. I could go back to Gumby or Mojo, and I was fine. But today, with the power supply in front of the 2Qute, I'm not having any issue with HD800S at the end of the chain.

From DAC to DAC?

2Qute to V220. I bought it without the dac. It was the only one I can get from Hong Kong at the time. Cheers brother.

Did anybody compare Teddy Pardo vs MCRU vs Teradak PSU with 2Qute?

Based on my reading of the thread, most people either went with the MCRU or Teddy. I went with the MCRU and have been happy
