{"product_id":"cho-qutest-q05277","title":"Chord QUTEST DAC","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eChord does DAC design differently than almost everyone else — proprietary FPGA-based filtering with a tap count that embarrasses most dedicated DAC chips. The Qutest runs 49,152 filter taps, the same as the Hugo 2 at twice the price, and it shows in the measured and audible noise floor. USB, coaxial, and optical inputs. PCM up to 768kHz\/32-bit, DSD up to DSD512. Three selectable output voltage levels — 1V, 2V, 3V RMS — so it plays nicely with whatever's downstream. No headphone output, no battery, no Bluetooth. Chord stripped the Hugo architecture down to pure DAC function and put it in a compact desktop box. If you're running a system that already has amplification sorted and you want to know what your digital sources actually sound like, the Qutest is a very direct answer to that question.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(253, 183, 21);\"\u003e$1,895 MSRP\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e","brand":"Chord Hugo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45764140335241,"sku":"QUTEST-Q05277","price":825.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/4557\/0185\/files\/chord.png?v=1777080697","url":"https:\/\/echohifi.com\/products\/cho-qutest-q05277","provider":"Echo Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
