@viethluu just curious, have you tried the Warm “orange” filter on the Qutest? I remember when I had the Qutest I really liked the sweeter sound that engaging the Warm filter produced. 

Got it!

I just went through a DAC upgrade myself. Ended up with a Bricasti M3. 
Years ago I had an Audio Research CD3 MkII CD player running it with ARC LS-25 preamp, Pass X250.5 amp and B&W N803. I sold the CD3 MkII when I went with a computer based system and eventually with streaming. I’ve been thru a number of DACs, speakers, preamps and amps and was unable to replicate that sheer musicality and level of engagement that CD player had. Until the Bricasti landed in my system last Sunday. I’ve been glued to the chair listening ever since. 
Throw this DAC in a mix. I’m pretty sure you won’t regret it if you end up with it.
