The Chord Company Qutest

For Sale: Chord Electronics Qutest. I have owned and used this DAC for about a few months and it is so good, I upgraded recently to the Hugo TT2 and M-Scaler. It is in near-mint condition, both operationally and physically. I rate it a 9/10 "Excellent" simply because it is used and an open box. Also, Chord Electronics updated the Qutest User Manual to version 2.1. I am including that most recent 2.1 version as I discarded the original that came with the unit. 

I couldn't be happier with this unit. It sounds amazing and it is small, lightweight, conveniently portable, and easy to setup and operate. I am selling it because of my recent upgrade path on much more expensive Chord products, although this Qutest is amazing sounding is by far, the best DAC I've heard for under $2,000. One last note: the cables that appear in photos 1 & 2 are not included in this sale. They only appear as to demonstrate the Qutest powered up. 

From the Chord Electronics website, "Qutest is a standalone DAC whose performance belies its compact dimensions. With DAC architecture based on the award-winning Hugo 2, Qutest offers class-leading digital conversion."
