OK sorry I really thought you were jesting. Funny you should mention the Chord Qutest DAC - I had the choice of the Qutest or an Audio Note 0.1x (which are approx the same price s/h) - I chose the Audio Note. So I now have the SBT connected to an AN 0.1x - and it seems that the SBT is not holding back the music making abilities of the Audio Note; proving yet again how good the SBT is as a reliable and rock solid performer. Bear in mind also that the AN is a design which eschews any digital manipulation as much as it can (filterless, NOS, simple TDA1543 chip etc) - as well as the aforementioned the AN does not re-clock the incoming signal from the transport - so the transport has to be good! I have heard great things about the Qutest - but I choose the AN and thus far I feel it was a good choice (although I have not listened to the Qutest even though I own a Mojo). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ stop-spinning's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43254 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113913
