And a friend lends you this



An SPL Phonitor 2.

Wow, is all I can say, and I haven’t started to fiddle with the adjustments yet.

Wow indeed, never seen so many buttons and knobs. Mine only has one for volume.

So does mine!
But this sounds much much better, and… I can keep it for an extended test, and it’s for sale if I’m interested…

It's great if you can get a unit for longer term assessment I'm a great believer in it because you know what your current unit sounds like so if something does sound better it's a win. I've been trying different DAC's now for a few months, I have to pay full retail price on the understanding if I don't like it I can return it and get a refund. So far 6 have gone back some 6 times the price of the Qutest but couldn't find one that in my opinion was better.

Chord DACs are rather special.
