This hand made in the UK product will transform your digital playback. The primary reason that these digital to analog converters sound so good is due to the fact that they do not use off the shelf DAC chips. The FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array) technology is the “secret sauce” here which is essentially a significantly higher amount of processing power than similarly priced products would normally use.

We’ll spare you the technical jargon - this thing sounds amazing! Tight, clean bass, gobs of detail while never being harsh or in your face. Has USB, Coaxial and Optical inputs so you can feed your home computer, streamer, CD player or TV to supercharge your digital playback. Selectable filters give you the ability to tailor the sound to your individual taste.

Chord DAC’s are held in high regard and the Qutest has one award after award and for good reason. We are very pleased to showcase this product in store.
