Qutest is a new generation product launched by British CHORD after the popular 2Qute, a new generation of desktop pure decoding, and the sound performance is further improved on the basis of 2Qute. Zesen licensed one year free warranty.
Qutest model is not suitable for desktop placement. It has USB, optical fiber, two BNC coaxial digital inputs, and the analog output is a pair of RCA.(The output level is adjustable in three levels), External 5V DC regulated power supply can be considered for upgrading to advanced line power, or advanced switch power supply such as iFi iPower.
UK What Hi-Fi? The magazine gave it a five-star rating, and the shortcoming it put forward was "no Bluetooth". It is true that Qutest does not have a Bluetooth function like Hugo2, and there is no earphone output, but if it is used as a hi-fi pure decoder, the sound performance is better than Hugo2. The sound evaluation is that it maintains the warm and soft sound of the previous generation 2Qute, and at the same time has more progress in terms of resolution and delicacy. It is used in the earphone system as the sound source and the small and medium speaker system as the sound source, which is very compatible.

Analog output adjustment method: within 16 seconds after plugging in the power supply, press the Filter+Input buttons at the same time, you will see the window LED light jump color——red represents 1V, green represents 2V , Blue represents 3V——At the same time, the sound of the relay is heard, and you can switch at this time. Once the 16 seconds of booting has passed, the output level is determined and cannot be changed. If you want to change the level again, you need to turn it off and then turn it on again and set it again. The color of the light when it is turned on indicates the level of the output.
