Headphoneus Supremus
Doesn’t look like there’s a volume control .. wonder what the output level is?
3Vrms according to the article. Same as all Rob’s DACs line-out level.

Quick question for @Rob Watts , could that user-selectable output voltage enable RCA outputs of Quetest to drive headphones directly with the right adapters? No such luck with 2Qute because of its fixed line-out @ 3V, but I wonder if Quetest were having like this from Hugo by any chance?"A further new feature is a user-selectable output voltage available in 1, 2 and 3V RMS outputs for flexible connectivity with partnering devices."

3 volume settings would not be enough - you would have to use a source volume control.
Thanks @Rob Watts for the prompt reply.3 volume settings would not be enough - you would have to use a source volume control.
BTW, I understand that you might not be willing to spill the beans at this point but are you expecting that DAVINA or another standalone M-Scaler product with USB outputs would perform better than dual BNC coaxial outputs from Blu Mk. 2?With the limited one op-amp up to 3V (line level) and having to use JRiver for volume control, I find I need to convert DSD on the fly to PCM 192, in order to control volume digitally.
"A further new feature is a user-selectable output voltage available in 1, 2 and 3V RMS outputs for flexible connectivity with partnering devices."
What we need now (next year?) is a digital player with integrated Mscaler and I will have reached my end-game setup.
Of course Rob can reply, but just read the specs, it does not have a headphone amp and as such has no ability to output to any device, ie headphones, that requires current as well as volts.
Otherwise people would already have been been using passive volume controls on other DACs and outputting to headphones. But they don't, because you can't.
Hey can someone create a new thread for chord qutest? Guess it will have to be done as soon as it is officially announced.
what is m scaler? excuse my ignorance..
