Is there any 2Qute owner (or previous 2Qute owner) who upgraded to the Qutest?
To my experience Chord builds the best DACs. The transparency, separation, spaciousness, dynamics, control, speed, tightness, details are just outstanding.
I am pretty much on a budget, £500 is quite a step for me. At the moment I use a 2Qute to my Questyle CMA-600i. 2Qute vastly improves the built in DAC of the 600i.
I also use an iFi iPurifier 3 which adds extra cleanliness and air to the picture. I simply can't listen without this tiny device anymore.
I am very happy with my current system, but you know, you constantly look for improvements in this hobby.
My question after describing my circumstances is whether the upgrade to the Qutest really worth it sound-wise? I heard it is not
that far from 2Qute. Especially if I further clean the signal with the iPurifier 3 I guess. Any thoughts from someone who knows both 2Qute and Qutest? (I also have to add I paid only £500 for my 2Qute. Therefore upgrading to the Qutest would mean paying more than double for any sonic improvements.)
