Hi
I have been looking at getting a new DAC.
And the Chord Qutest is looking very interesting.
And is getting great rewievs.
But is anybody here using it with JPlay Femto?
And how well does it work with Higher dac link settings?
Any advice and feedback is appreciated😀

Thank you and happy new year.

I use Chord gear and I havent been able to run a higher dac link than 45.  But I also use Dirac and have to force 32bit in Jplay to get that to work.

I am sure higher dac links are better but the Chord Qutest is a great dac for the money even running like that  :)  FWIW

Thank you very much for the feedback ellisdj.
Sounds like a very good DAC 😀

If anybody is using it with a higher dac link, please give your feedback.

Im running a Chord Qutest  with highest dac link 45 possible via JPlay and using Netcard XE and using usb.

 

But some Chord DAC owners are runnning the usb signal to this device:

Audiowise SRC.DX usb to dual BNC connector with very good result. 

 

Link: https://www.wavehigh...l-bnc-convertor.

 

Looks like Bnc into the Qutest is a better sounding option than going USB direct.

 

But I would  realy like to know, is it possible, to run higher Dac link settings i JPlay, using the Audiowise SRC.DX adapter? 

Anybody tried it?

 

Cheers.
