    Chord Qutest with LHY Audio linear lower supply - questions about sound quality and reliability...?

    I have a Qutest DAC, which sounds great, but I wonder if it could sound even better with one of these liner power supplies and if the LHY Audio one is any good?

    Another DAC comparison... Do they really make a difference?

    So... my Chord Qutest DAC died and in sending it out to the the place where they repair these things, The Sound Organization (an odd name, I think), I unfortunately got a really high quote for fixing the thing, which was apparently about the most that it can possibly cost (apparently it was...

    New Toy! ...and thoughts about DACs in general

    So, I just managed to leverage a few items (a few cables that I had but didn't need... given to me by a wealthy audiophile friend), which I couldn't seem to sell, into a trade for a DAC. I got a Chord Qutest, which from reading the reviews, is a pretty good score. I just got it all hooked up and...
