Chord Qutest

Help;

I just bought a Chord Qutest and have been playing for 2 days.

I’m finding it is very hard and sibilant
I have it on the orange/red filter that helps
I’m using the supplied cabling

Are the Chords sensitive to cabling or can this this be a break-in thing?

I’ve compared it to my Meridian Explorer2 & Playback Designs Merlot “ loaner” and it IS very hard sounding

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?
