Christer, you better not leave any of your bags unattended at the Adelphi or anywhere else, especially if Rob is in the vicinity as you may very likely be carted off by security and we might never hear from you again!
Anyone have any impressions comparing the Schiit Gumby and the Chord Qutest? I got the chance to hear a DAVE in my setup alongside my gumby and it wiped the floor with it. The DAVE was more musical, clearer, and more engaging. So how would the Qutest compare?

DAVE was introduced in 2015, correct? Has there been any tech changes in the last 3 years that could have been incorporated into the Hugo2/Qutest that would make it sound as good as the DAVE? Also, would Chord purposely hobble their products so they cannot sound as good? I'm curious about this myself as a DAVE is more than I am willing to spend right now.
Hello dac64.
I asked if he could say when a separate M-Scaler without cd drive might become available and he responded that "he would be slapped" if he said when,more specifically.
But it is definitely coming. And in the more distant future he was even hoping to be able bring out a HUGO 3 or 4 with an M scaler already onboard".
But such future things are still awaiting FPGA developments and capabilites not yet available.
During one of his seminars he also mentioned that M-Scaler technology for full 24 bit reconstruction would need somewhere in the region of 256 million taps if my memory serves me right.
Something he did not expect to happen in his lifetime.
Nor did he think it would be needed.
We also had a more informal, friendly private chat.
We shook hands afterwards and parted in peace.
He on his way to a four day hike to Macchu Picchu, and myself with the difficult decision to make between Alban Berg's Three Pieces for Orchestra and Brahms' Violin Concerto live here in Singapore on the 30th, or Beethoven and Mozart in Kuala Lumpur that same evening.
Cheers Christer

In regards to the Hugo2 vs the Qutest, I had a Hugo2 overnight here, listened for a few hours, had no interest in it at all, plugged my 2qute back in. Got the Qutest, see ya later 2qute.
