Review Cambridge audio edge a With a new DAC

[Hondoe1950]

I’ve been really enjoying my system, which includes a WiiM Ultra streamer, Revel M126Be speakers, and the Cambridge Audio Edge A amplifier, but I could tell that something was not quite perfect.

I realized that the DAC in the Edge A wasn’t separating the instruments and voices enough and the sound stage was not deep enough.

After a lot of research, I decided to add an external DAC to the system. I chose the Chord Electronics Qutest, and installed it yesterday.

It made an incredibly profound difference. Now I’m getting the resolution, separation, and depth of sound stage that I was craving. Every voice and instrument sounds like it’s performing right in front of me!

I just wanted to share my experience in case others are in the same situation.

I cannot believe how perfect my system sounds now.

HiFi madness never settles for Perfect, if that was so I would have saved enough money to cruise around the world in 80 days.

True, and I would have retired years ago.....

I'm a great believer in the benefits of high end DACS.

I used to have the Qutest but have moved up the Denafrips ladder to the Venus 2, which is FAB. More soul body and detail over the Chord.

Excellent, although i feel sure that in a double blind test most would hear any difference between them.
