Qutest is a ‘pure’ DAC (it does not contain headphone amplification or rechargeable batteries like some of its range stablemates) and is designed to improve sound quality in the home. It is the latest evolution of Chord Electronics' most affordable standalone DAC, the multi-award-winning 2Qute, which it directly replaces. Perfectly equipped to optimize a wide range of connected devices, the Qutest features a galvanically isolated USB-B, optical and coaxial digital input, giving an instant performance upgrade, plus the ability to modernize aging digital source components. The Qutest PCB nestles within a shallow cavity in the solid aluminum chassis, giving the circuit board greater protection within the casework and additional isolation from external vibration compared to previous designs. Features High-quality digital conversion Four selectable filters 768kHz USB Type B input 192kHz optical input Includes micro USB power supply, type A to type B USB cable, silk drawstring bag
