Yep, We must all consider that everything is taste, system, room matching components, etc. etc. ....... dependent. The more different components and links in signal path, the higher the error rate.
But as I never had any Chord, I apologize and my comments where based only on the looks and some logic.
I sincerely hope that this thread will not go to the Audiogon forums rote (mine is the latest and greatest, so it`s more expensive and therefore vastly superior all others) type of thread.
P.S. There are some old and very old classic "price no object" gear that can easily rival or beat the latest and greatest today (also in digital)!
No real paradigm change has happened in the last 20 or more years. Some new chips, clocks etc. but nothing much more to really consider. Good PCM still sound better than full DSD on decent gear (again depending on setup, recording and taste).
Lets just enjoy a beautiful music and share our wonderful experiences!
Have a nice weekend !
