Am I deaf?


Hello all,
Just got a Chord Qutest to use as an outboard dac with my Oppo BD 105. Connected the Chord to the Oppo coax out with an Audioquest Carbon coax cable. $2100 for the Qutest including the cable! I'm not hearing it. I think the Oppo dac may sound a bit better than the Chord. Tried all the filters. Am I nuts?

You aren't deaf.  I have a Hugo and love it much more than the DAC in my Oppo.  However, I've heard the 2Qute and Mojo and don't necessarily care for their sound.  It is much different than the Hugo.  The 105 does have a pretty good DAC.  My Hugo is much warmer and smoother sounding than the Qute or Oppo.
