Angeboten wird „Chord QUTEST DAC, Original QUTEST STAND + BOTW SBooster mit Ultra MK II Erweiterung“ von Chord Electronics als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „D/A Wandler“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 9351512148 endet am 30.07.2026 um 14:04 Uhr.
In good condition, €1,300 is above the typical used market for this one: it sits well over the €1,100 75th percentile and notably above the €979 median, so I’d call it ambitious rather than fair. Against the recent comps you provided, it’s asking a premium that isn’t really backed by the current used spread, even for a clean unit.
That said, the appeal is easy to understand: the Qutest is a respected, compact DAC with a strong reputation for clarity, timing, and very low noise, and it still holds up well in serious systems. If this listing includes the original box, PSU, remote, and is truly pristine with recent ownership history, it may still suit a buyer who wants this specific sound and form factor — but value shoppers should expect more room off the ask.
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.
