Bought the Chord Qutest. Love it. Hate the power supply.

Nick…I owned Qutest for some time and liked it a lot. Rob Watts knows what he’s doing. Don’t soup up the Qutest. If you want to spend money, spend it on next level DAC.

I appreciate the responses from people who really considered the question and responded.

The ones with chips on their shoulders who were “confused” by my conundrum are ruining this forum.

It’s like, if someone suspects a perspective is shallow, they’ll forget about incremental upgrades to challenge someone’s intelligence.

I appreciate Rob Watts perspective. But Alan Shaw says amps don’t matter and I run Harbeth with a carefully selected amplifier.

I don’t like the $.69 power cord. Maybe because I’m a complete moron. I’ll find help on another forum.

Thanks.

Sure. Try ASR. 

I used to share similar opinions to ASR, but then I bought a nice stereo.
