Thats what I don't understand? Chord seem to just market it as a headphone amplifier and there is no real mention of using it as a desktop DAC, however What Hifi seem to describe its as a DAC, its their best DAC between £400-800. Its not one of the 28 products under headphone amplifiers its under DACS?
Also its comparied vs the irDAC-II, which is a desktop DAC? hence my confusion, as what type of DAC do you just connect to a pair of headphones?
I would also like it written somewhere from Chord that they think its ok to leave it plugged in permanently to use as a desktop DAC, I think they will say its a headphone amp with a dac and the Qute is their cheapest desktop DAC.
I don't understand why Chord didn't make an actual budget desktop DAC, if they did for the same price as the MoJo surely they'd have the market cornered? The 2Qute is a big step at £1000 and one I can't justify that on my second system.
