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