Qutest with the MCRU power supply

[Hondoe1950]

I just installed the MCRU power supply on my system for the Qutest DAC. I had read a lot of different opinions about whether it made much difference or not. I’m sure it’s partially system specific. But on my system: Cambridge Audio Edge A amp, WiiM Ultra streamer, Rel sub, and Revel M126Be speakers, it made a really really obvious and powerful difference. After reading all the mixed reviews, I wasn’t expecting much and the change was not subtle at all. So if any of you are considering this combination, I heartily recommend it.

By the way, switching the Qutest from one volt to 2 Volt output on another day also made a giant difference.

I have the feeling someone will be along shortly to ask whether you've blind tested these combinations.

It'll certainly be louder....

This Is a feature I love especially if you have very sensitive speakers and/or an amp with an energetic gain

But in regards to sound voltage change doesn’t make a jot of difference its just louder

I know some run it of a battery pack and say it makes a difference, though haven't tried myself

He said the change wasn't subtle, so he's guaranteed to be able to identify, blindly, how it's being powered 🤔
