Any impressions of CHORD or Mytek DACs?

Butler, it never ends does it. If you decide to purchase, please share your impressions. Good luck.

I just ordered a King Rex PSU MKii in the 13V option to try. Should be here in a couple of days.

I've had the QuteHD for a month or so .. I'm very happy with it. There's a thread on CA (which I've participated in) that you may be interested in.

There is a huge thread on the Mytek there as well with lots of good info. Good luck.

The only ones I've come across are European only. Here is a link to the one I can remember: http://www.mains-cables-r-us.co.uk/power-supplies/514-chord-qutehd-linear-power-supply.html

I emailed Chord a month ago about powering the QuteHD with a SOtM battery supply I own and here is the reply:

"Unfortunately the SOtM battery supply does not have enough voltage to drive the QuteHD. It needs to have at least a 12V output to work properly."

Good luck. Let us know how you like the DAC.

Butler .. just thought I'd update. After burn-in and some listening time, I pulled the plug on the PSU MK2 and put the QuteHD power supply back in. I was very surprised to hear everything collapse a bit .. soundstage, bass, everything. Funny, I was quite happy with the sound I was getting from the QuteHD prior to the upgrade in power supply. I'm now a believer in clean, well implemented power. The King Rex is a keeper.

Butler .. why am I not surprised? I've yet to read a negative comment about powering the QuteHD with a good linear ps.

The King Rex PSU MK2 sells for $419. The US distributor is Moon Audio in NC. I'm very happy with mine.
