Chord DACs .. who has moved across to them from R-2R based DACs ?

It seems that Chord DACs are becoming very popular - I’m looking to try the Chord Qutest at some point but wonder if anyone here has moved across to Chord from so called "musical" R-2R DACs like the following:
  • SW1X
  • Schiit
  • Audio Note
  • Lampizator
  • Mojo Audio

Thanks

How is Pontus II Calvin. I just got Ares II and own Qutest. The thing with Ares is that it's more continuous/analog sounding than the Qutest. I would like the Ares to be more juicy sounding but the R2R implementation is the key.

Thanks Calvin! I agree even with my Ares II it beats the Qutest I presenting music in an analog way. So you think Pontus II is definitely worth it moving up from Ares II?
