Chord Qutest

I am about to settle on a Chord Qutest based on the reviews but I have not seen any review on its RELIABILITY.

A few buyers have complained that after a few months, it has stopped working for them.

Has anyone had such an experience and/or has anyone had one for longer than about 3-4 years who can vouch for its reliability ?

Thanks

Qutest is a different league. More transparent, detailed, much better extensions, much bigger soundstage stage. I had Chord 2qute. It is closer in sound quality to Qutest then to Mojo1.

Probably good for headphones and not so great for a home stereo system... The Mojo2 is really made as a nice portable DAC for headphones... The Qutest is just a DAC made to integrate with your home stereo system... Got a source server or streamer and preamp... Your good to go... Also the Mojo2 has a WTA filter of 40,960 taps with a 4 element pulse array... while the Qutest has 49,152 taps with a 10 element pulse array... There will be a difference in sound... I have had my Qutest, going on three years now, without any issues...
