Rob,
You mentioned two caps in the direct signal path. Are these two caps polypropylene, or other kind of high quality caps for audio?
By "usual two caps" do you mean one cap used for the output stage's input, and the second cap used for the Qutest audio output (output stage to the RCA jacks).
If two caps are used in the audio path, do I understand correctly that a DC servo is not used to enable direct-coupled audio output for Qutest?
Thanks, Bill
No they are not coupling capacitors at all; the Qutest is fully DC coupled with the digital DC servo nulling out DC offsets. The capacitors are for the analogue filter and are 200V COG types.
