If it is a step from Bluetooth then he should note an improvement. Whether he cares may be an issue to resolve before your well intended gift is purchased

My longtime friend of 65 years just turned 70. He currently has a Classe Amp CAP-151, Magneplanar MG3.6/R, Bluesound Node X anniversary edition. He primarily streams from his phone with Bluetooth using Tidal. I was thinking of getting him a Chord Qutest as a 70th birthday present. I'd appreciate opinions on whether or not this will noticeably enhance his listening experience. He's not a tech savvy person and prefers keeping things simple. Thanks in advance for any meaningful suggestions.
