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.

After going then the rabbit hole of dacs, I found a mention of Weiss in a thread. I did some research and liked the dna of the Weiss. I did purchase the updated 2024 version of the Weiss dac 501 mk2.
