Chord Qutest


Help;

I just bought a Chord Qutest and have been playing for 2 days.

I’m finding it is very hard and sibilant
I have it on the orange/red filter that helps
I’m using the supplied cabling

Are the Chords sensitive to cabling or can this this be a break-in thing?

I’ve compared it to my Meridian Explorer2 & Playback Designs Merlot “ loaner” and it IS very hard sounding

Blackbierd, 
Can your dealer give you a demonstration comparing the Qutest/M Scaler to the Chord Dave DAC , or at least his opinion?

The M Scaler will make a big difference with any of the Chord DACs. If you go with the Dave , you could always get the M Scaler later on.
