For reference I am running an Innuos Zenith mkIII feeding a Chord Qutest.
You may want to try a different DAC. I haven't heard the Qutest, but from what I read here the Chords are on the lean, detailed end of the spectrum.
How many of you are digital only systems?
Digital, now mostly streaming, with an Ayre DX-5 DSD for Blue-rays. My Thorens TD 124 and Technics SL 1200 II are displayed as icons but rarely used. I also display a Gerrard RC 80 as a reminder of my introduction to HiFi in the 1950s. I still have all my vinyl, including boxed Capital FDS and Westminster Labs. |
+1, @tomcy6 Chord Qutest is the weakest link. When digital done properly, it can be just as enjoyable as vinyl. For now enjoy your vinyl system :-) |
