[QUOTE="DavidWMB, post: 1074409, member: 23487"] The Chord Qutest is an amazing desktop, standalone DAC in the Chord Electronics stable. As a desktop DAC in my secondary system, I'm always struck by how intense and engaging the sound is from the Qutest, the body, texture of sound, not to mention micro-dynamics and detail. At its price point, the Qutest is very good value for money. Such a pity though that it does not have XLR balanced or I2S digital inputs and XLR analogue out. But it does have galvanic isolation on USB :) Rob Watts of Chord Electronics has in fact posited the use of Toslink optical to connect a CD transport to the Qutest to avoid noise... [/QUOTE]
