Chord Qutest

It's great that you've found a way to make the dac work for you. It seems like everybody loves ROON.
   My only advice is to audition different cables, many online dealers have trial periods.

Low:

Yes, Roon is surprisingly good vs the others.

what system and dac are you running?

cables & power stuff are important.

I changed the chord wall wart from my cheap power strip to VH audio's Furutech Hot Box and sound did change signals clay for the better.

IC Cables are next on my list

along with a turntable.

@frozentundra , I've been thru a few DACs since the Chord. I now have an Audio Note 2.1 Signature...love it. 
I still play CDs since I have a very large collection, mostly classical. I stopped playing audio files from my Mac due to the fact that Audio Note doesn't use USB, it's an option. Crazy, right?

I researched streamers and will be purchasing the Bluesound Node 2i. I'll do the 30 day trials and I'll also be able to stream from my Mac.
 

Oh yeah, cables are very important. My Dac and PS Audio transport do well with Audience PC's; low noise floor, wide and deep soundstage. I have a small Audience power conditioner for digital and a Blue Circle for analogue. Currently using a Cerious Technologies SPDIF coax. 

Very good move getting the Hot Box.

Filters are SOFTWARE logic code in the FPGA, why/how on earth do they require break-in?
