Chord Electronics Qtest
Chord Electronics Qtest
Chord Electronics Qutest is a standalone DAC whose performance belies its compact dimensions. With DAC architecture based on the award-winning Hugo 2, Qutest offers class-leading digital conversion.
The Qutest is a great DAC for the money, but if you want to maximize the performance even further, pair it with an Sbooster PSU.
