Chord Electronics Ltd. qute ex Silver Face

New unopened in box Chord Qute EX with silver faceplate.

This is the UK version with a UK wal wart.  You will either need an adapter for the outlet or, better yet, use a third party linear power supply or battery supply (e.g. Anker 12V / 22 aH battery-pack (google Amazon). 

This DAC has won multiple awards (Google for reviews) and is an update to the multi-award winning Chord Qute HD.

The Qute EX, now offers both 384kHz PCM and DSD 128 playback for today’s
high-resolution DXD (Digital eXtreme Definition) music files.
