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?

Just idly speculating, but it may take more than five minutes to break in.

No need to be concerned with what you prefer, especially if it saves a few dollars. Go with what you enjoy and what puts you closest to the music.

It could be you, or system synergy, or sample to sample variation, or whatever. Why care, just fire up the OPPO and enjoy!
