I've had a Chord Qutest for about 3 years now... Get a Furman power conditioner with Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT)... Plug your DAC, streamer, network switch, router and modem into it... Problem solved...
Bought the Chord Qutest. Love it. Hate the power supply.
Everything about this DAC is incredible except for the dinky power supply. I wondered if others didn't like it, so I Googled it and noticed that people were upgrading and noticing a sonic difference!
I am not interested in spending much money, but I would like to replace it with something that is an improvement for my ears and my peace of mind.
Any suggestions?>
