I currently have a case of upgradeitis, and I am playing with hi res music (mainly streaming and downloads) and Spotify etc through the DAC on my Marantz SA8005 which produces a very nice sound but a bit light, shut in and laid back (the Marantz house sound?).
I am very tempted by the rave reviews of the Chord Dac family, and looking at the 2Qute (recently down in price) or the new (yet to be reviewed) Chord Qutest which is apparently based on the Hugo 2.
I am hoping this could turbocharge my system (they look like little car turbochargers!) and take my hi fi to a new level.
What does everyone else think ? Any views on Chord DACS out there ?
