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

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.

Food for thought from Rob Watts himself:

“Actually my advice is that the supplied PSU is as good as a battery supply (based on my listening with my set-up -YMMV) - which gives the lowest amount of RF noise - and that LPS supplies is likely to sound worse, as they are often transparent to RF noise from the mains - the supplied switcher has RF filters. My advice is to try a USB battery bank, and if it sounds identical to the supplied PSU, then don't bother "upgrading" with a LPS...

If you still wish to pursue, try this LPS which comes with a 30 days money back guarantee.
