| Do I really need a separate Roon Core (computer) to use Roon Software? I use Mac Mini 2018 to run the Roon Core. Wireless. Mac Mini to DAC via usb. Control with my iPhone or iPad. No complaints. | |
| Schiit vs. Mytek vs. Chord - looking for some thoughts I will share my thoughts and how I landed with the Qutest. My decision was based on the comparison I conducted in my own system. I had an opportunity to compare 4 DACs:1. Mytek Brooklyn DAC+2. Chord Qutest3. Bryston BDA-3.14 (streamer DAC, used pu... | |
| Schiit vs. Mytek vs. Chord - looking for some thoughts theo thanks!alex nice videos! Bach cello prelude sounds great! | |
| Schiit vs. Mytek vs. Chord - looking for some thoughts Ended up with the Chord Qutest. Very happy with it. Not much to complain about. With the Warm (orange) filter, it is smooth, throws a large soundstage. No listening fatigue, not analytical and just draws you in. A joy to listen to. | |
| Power Cord Suggestions REF 5se so...did the preamp settle? | |
| Schiit vs. Mytek vs. Chord - looking for some thoughts Thank you. I think I’m pretty much set on the Chord Qutest. It’s pretty versatile, should be a good fit with the rest of my gear. We’ll see... | |
| Schiit vs. Mytek vs. Chord - looking for some thoughts I’m leaning towards the Chord Qutest. | |
| Power Cord Suggestions REF 5se Let us know. | |

| Schiit vs. Mytek vs. Chord - looking for some thoughts Theo thanks! | |
| Schiit vs. Mytek vs. Chord - looking for some thoughts Saw Darko video. It’s one of the reasons the Qutest is on my list. Kingbardnuda...Dac+ has filters as well. Any plans to try the Qutest in place if Brooklyn? That would be interesting... | |
| Schiit vs. Mytek vs. Chord - looking for some thoughts “Digital” sound is also one of the things that cannot be an attribute of the dac for me, but not at the expense of sacrificing on detail and dynamics. Also, not looking for analytical/dry sound. isnrmack, theo...how would you characterize the soun... | |
| Schiit vs. Mytek vs. Chord - looking for some thoughts Oh and I don’t necessarily “need” the extras such as volume control/preamp and a phono in Mytek but if it’s the better dac than the rest, I don’t mind. Looks of the unit not the highest priority. |
