That the British company is characterized by all-round originality is a well-known fact. The reputation that precedes it concerns first of all its sound characteristics, which are always at an absolute level with respect to price and which differ strongly in temperament from all direct competition. But also from a technical standpoint, as well as from an aesthetic one, CHORD is second to none.
Equipped with an FPGA DAC that thus takes a completely different path than almost all manufacturers, QUTEST features a truly original look, with a luminous porthole that in addition to showing the electronics lights up in different colors according to the frequency and type of the input file. There are only two pexiglas light buttons on what can be called an original black "brick," and they govern inputs and filters: they do not deviate from the original British manufacturer's setup, taking on different colors according to what is selected. QUTEST is a pure DAC, conceding no other frills. But its sonic characteristics will win over any audiophile without appeal.
