DAC experiences?

Hi guys,

thanks for all your great advice so far. I come to you with DAC questions. I’m interested to hear your opinions on the Chord Qutest vs PS Audio DirectStream Mk2 vs Chord Dave. 
 

I know they all sit at different price points, but I have a few options at good used prices and I would love to hear insights and experiences on these DACS, their sound, and living with them day to day. 
 

I’ll be using Nova III floorstanders, Luxman 509z integrated, and for now a Node Icon N530 as transport but with a view to upgrade streamer.

I upgraded from the PS Audio mk1 Directstream to a Mola Mola Tambaqui last year.  I listened to both with an audiophile friend and found the PS Audio compared favorably with the Tambaqui. It was still a worthy upgrade but I was impressed as to how the PS Audio compared to the Tambaqui.

 

if you can get a used mk1 unit, go for it.  I doubt you will be disappointed.
