Welcome Here we have the Chord Qutest DAC and MCRU LDA PUS upgraded power supply for sale. 2020 model. Immaculate Condition. Includes high-end BNC cable. Rpr £1500+ Im yet to hear a better sounding DAC combination below £5000. Comes in its Original Box with all accessories. Free Next Day Delivery. What Chord says about this unit: 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 What Hi-Fi?’s Best DAC (£500-£1500) and a What Hi-Fi? Best DAC winner every year its inception (2018-2022), is a proven class-leader and 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. The Qutest chassis is all-new, too. 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. A further new feature is a user-selectable output voltage available in 1, 2 and 3V RMS outputs for flexible connectivity with a wide range of partnering devices. Features: Materials: Precision machined aluminium casing with polycarbonate buttons and glass viewing portal. Available only in Jett Black.

Chord Company Signature XL Speaker Cables 2 x 2 meters (Pair) Factory Terminated. Used but still in good condition.See the photos for condition details.RRP £1400Chord SignatureXL Speaker Cable - Factory Terminated Signature was Chords first high-frequency shielded speaker cable. At the time of its introduction (2004/5), it marked a massive leap in speaker cable performance. It was also the biggest, stiffest, brightest cable Chord had ever made. The conductors were oxygen free copper, the insulation was gas foamed Polyethylene, Shielding was a three layer braid and foil combination, effective to high frequencies and the outer jacket a flexible polyethylene. It was just flexible enough to fit into a system. Signature speaker cable was another product that didn’t need a press release or a review, it took off so fast by word of mouth, that for a while there was almost a permanent waiting list.It remained unchanged for about ten years, until Chord could apply improved building techniques and materials such as more efficient shielding, silver-plated conductors and PTFE insulation that would produce a more neutral tonal characteristic and a cable better able to carry detail, dynamics and timbre. This became Signature Reference.Signature Reference, like most of Chords cables, used PTFE insulation (often referred to as Teflon™) and until the arrival of Taylon®, was Chords “go to” material. Although expensive, it offered the best performance.Material technology is constantly developing and improving and alternatives to PTFE are now available. While the high cost of Taylon® prevents Chord from using this in their Signature range, they were able to find a suitable family of insulation materials known as XLPE (Cross-linked Polyethylene). One version of this material looked particularly interesting and following listening tests, proved to be clearly better than the PTFE in Signature Reference.Specification :Quantity 2x2 meters pairConductors: Silver-plated, high purity OFCConfiguration: Twisted pairConductor Insulation: XLPEShielding: Individually shielded positive and minus conductors.
