Chord Qutest Desktop USB DAC
- The Qutest chassis is all-new,it has significantly greater mass than its predecessor and has been precision-machined from solid aircraft-grade aluminium billet. The Qutest PCB nestles within a shallow cavity in the solid aluminium chassis, giving the circuit board greater protection within the casework and additional isolation from external vibration compared to previous designs.
- Qutest offers Hugo 2's proprietary user-selectable frequency-shaping filters and input selection controls, available via two fascia-mounted spheres, introducing useful flexibility. It also features RCA analogue outputs for connection to integrated amplifiers, preamps and headphone amps, plus high-resolution dual-data digital inputs for connection to future Chord Electronics products.
- Qutest's control spheres (for user-selectable filters and input) illuminate with useful colour-coding information denoting sample frequency and filter used and the brightness settings are user-adjustable.
- Inputs include: one Optical TOSLink 24-bit/192kHz-capable, two BNC coaxial input 24-bit/384kHz-capable (with dual data mode up to 768kHz) and one HD galvanically isolated USB-B input 32-bit/768kHz and DSD512-capable. Outputs are one stereo pair of RCA phono outputs adjustable to 1,2 and 3V RMS.

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.
Qutest is our ‘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 our most affordable standalone DAC, the multi-award-winning 2Qute, which it directly replaces.
Qutest, which is a What Hi-Fi? Star of CES 2018, is based on our award-winning proprietary FPGA technology developed for the class-leading Hugo 2 DAC/headphone amp, giving it proven class-leading technical and sonic performance. Perfectly equipped to bring the benefits our digital technology to a wide range of connected devices, it features a galvanically isolated USB-B, optical and coaxial digital input, giving an instant performance upgrade, plus the ability to modernise ageing digital source components.

Friends from Overseas,
- we do ship internationally.
- shipping fees are calculated according to total gross actual or volumetric weight of all item(s) in cart, whichever higher.
- shipping fees will vary depending on international carrier(s)3, and will be displayed during checkout.
- do be aware of additional import tax/VAT that may apply.
Due to recent changes in U.S. trade regulations, additional tariffs are being imposed on products manufactured in China and imported into the United States. As many of our audio products are made in China, orders shipped to U.S. addresses may be subject to an added tariff charge at checkout, reflected as a "U.S. Import Tariff Surcharge". Please note that this surcharge amount is determined by U.S. import policies and may vary significantly depending on product categories and any future policy adjustments. These charges are necessary to ensure compliance with U.S. customs requirements and to allow us to continue serving our U.S. customers reliably. We strongly encourage you to review the total cost at checkout before placing your order.
