I thought the qutest needs 5V 2A, whereas the 5V ifi power elite is 5V 5A—doesn’t this mean the qutest is getting too many amps?
Power supply poll for Chord Qutest
I’m looking for experience-based opinions here on which linear power supplies Agoners have found to provide the greatest benefit when used with Chord Qutest DAC. I have personal experience with upgraded MCRU and Swagman Labs supplies in different applications, and have been quite happy.
Here are the models I am currently considering:
-MCRU - Option 2
-Swagman Labs SE
-Sbooster BOTW P&P ECO MKII
-Teddy Pardo MiniTeddy 5/2
My budget is under $500. If you swear by other lps products you’ve used with the Qutest DAC, I would be interested to hear about it. I have several different PCs on hand to try with a new lps. FWIW, I tried a 5v ifi XPOWER switching supply I have on hand, and it sounds awful with the Qutest, but sounds very good in other applications, including with a Chord Mojo2.
Thanks in advance for your input.
