Lack of popularity of Chord???


Hello.  I’m wondering if anyone knows why Chord products are so rarely discussed on this forum.  I own and love a Chord Dave DAC/headphone amp, and I’ve considered including a Chord amp to go with the Dave, but I’m wary of this choice because Chord seems so unpopular on this forum.  Not that it is a popularity contest per se.  But is there something I don’t know about Chord products in a full size system?  I t would drive Sonus Faber Sonetto V speakers. I’d be grateful for any and all feedback.

Thanks for the link.  It is almost all about Chord DAC’s, and I’m aware that these are highly regarded, owning several myself, but I’m interested in getting impressions of their stand-alone amps and other products.


there are several more tiers — the Table Tops, Chorals, and reference.  DACS, amps, preamps, CD transports, M scalers.  I’m exploring the table tops and the chorals.  Lots of dealers, with definite exceptions,  who carry the portable products do not sell these.  You can find excellent online reviews of these higher priced items, but not that much on Audiogon.  Being also into headphones I purchased a Dave, then an M scaler.   Down the road from that now, and knowing how great the Dave is, I’m wondering if it might benefit from being paired with other Chord products.
i really appreciate the input!
The Chord Company makes cables and is not affiliated with Chord Electronics, which makes the pretty gear.
jjss49, I really appreciate your comments, and I appreciate this last one the most.
