IS THE WEISS 204 A SUBSTANIAL UPGRADE FRON THE CHORD QUTEST

My system is as follows:

Martin Logan 11A Impressions loudspeakers
SVS SB-4000 pair of subwoofers
Chord Qutest Dac
Lumin U2 mini streamer
Bryston 4B3 cubed power amp-500/ channel into 4 ohms.
Rogue Audio RP-1 preamp, Bryston BP-19 preamp on order.
Seeking a DAC with higher resolution than my Chord Qutest. maximum budget is $5000.00
Question: Would the Weiss 204 be a substantial upgrade over the Qutest? The Weiss would come in at $3500.00 plus $1000 for
Modright Linear Power supply addition. Not looking to go sideways or only receive a small improvement. The Weiss all in is three times the price of the Chord.
Thank you in advance for any guidance you can offer.

I used the word resolution to mean sound better. I understand sounding better is subjective. But generally as you go up in price the dacs do indeed sound better. For example, the Dac before my Qutest did not sound as real and as immediate the Qutest. DAC. My question was is there a DAC in my price range that would sound much better than the Qutest, and if so, specifically which ones passed your test for being a substantial improvement in overall sound quality. Thank you.
