The used market for a Chord Qutest is tightly clustered here: recent comparable asking prices centre on €982, with the middle 50% running from €975 to €986. At €990, this is technically just above the 75th percentile, so it is fair-to-slightly-ambitious rather than a bargain—only a few euros over the observed range, and “excellent” condition helps justify it.
The Qutest remains a compelling compact DAC: clean, incisive and highly resolving, with Chord’s FPGA-based architecture, selectable filters, adjustable 1/2/3V output and unusually capable USB input. It is especially attractive in a system that already has a preamp, since there is no volume control or headphone stage. Check that the 5V power supply and any original accessories are included, but with a clean, fully working unit, this is a sensible enthusiast buy if the seller has room to settle slightly below €990.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Chord Electronics, a British high-fidelity powerhouse, traces its roots to the aviation industry. Founded in 1989 by John Franks, a former Marconi Avionics engineer, the company emerged from his early 1980s innovations in ultra-reliable, high-frequency switching power supplies for aircraft electronics. Initially too costly for commercial viability, the designs became feasible with advancing components, launching Chord from its Kent headquarters in a renovated pumphouse that remains its manufacturing heart.
The brand excels in premium amplifiers and digital-to-analog converters (DACs), blending Franks' analog prowess with digital expertise from FPGA specialist Rob Watts. Early power amplifiers quickly won acclaim from professional studios like the BBC, Abbey Road, and Skywalker Sound, establishing credibility before shifting focus to consumer hi-fi. Iconic products like the Hugo and Mojo DACs exemplify their boundary-pushing approach, alongside integrated amps and streamers, all handcrafted in the UK without compromise on power, precision, or musicality.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Chord commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its uncompromising engineering, aerospace-grade reliability, and bold innovation. Independent and proudly British, it sets benchmarks in transparency and dynamics, attracting buyers who demand reference-level performance over mass-market concessions.
