fs late model chord qutest with mcru lda linear power supply

I’m looking for experience-based opinions here on which linear power supplies Agoners have found to provide the greatest benefit when used with Chord Qutest DAC. I have personal experience with upgraded MCRU and Swagman Labs supplies in different applications, and have been quite happy. Here are the models I am currently considering: My budget is under $500. If you swear by other lps products you’ve used with the Qutest DAC, I would be interested to hear about it. I have several different PCs on hand to try with a new lps.

FWIW, I tried a 5v ifi XPOWER switching supply I have on hand, and it sounds awful with the Qutest, but sounds very good in other applications, including with a Chord Mojo2. I had success employing a 5v Ifi iPower Elite with a Chord Qutest, which is Ifi's top of the line switch mode power supply. Zerozone on alipay, Kingrex,or with more dosh Keces or Teddy Pardo. £240.00 – £650.00Price range: £240.00 through £650.00 Option 1 – standard model with standard mains lead £240 Option 2 – furutech gold plated iec inlet – hifi tuning audio fuse with cardas copper end caps – puritan audio classic mains lead £360

Option 3 – furutech gold plated iec inlet – sr purple fuse – MCRU No. 75 SE mains lead £650 MCRU have available one of their award winning fully regulated linear power supply’s for this DAC. Our power supply’s are designed and built in the UK by Longdog Audio, owned and run by respected UK audiophile Nick Gorham, the power supply’s have won 2 Hi-Fi Choice 5 star awards for... Up for sale is used but in excellent condition Chord Qutest with MCRU Linear Power Supply. It's one of best DAC I heard in my set up : resolving, punchy, great separation of notes without sounding digital or harsh.

MCRU linear power supply (well regarded linear power supply that works well with Chord DACs) extend and tighten the bass further in my system. Lots of good reviews online, an example is: https://www.13thnote.net/2019/05/30/chord-electronics-qutest-dac/ How much of an improvement could I expect to the QuTest with an upgraded Linear Power Supply? I’ve just put an mcru one on mine and a bit more weight and openness… not a massive game change but it’s removed the only wall wart in my system Plixir Elite BDC with Statement DC cable was a significant upgrade on my Qutest.

I also have an MCRU/Long Dog Audio power supply. It is the cheaper one without fancy fuse, mains lead and IEC socket. It irons out digital hash leaving a smoother sounding result. I would say it makes more of a difference than changing filter options on the Qutest, which are small to my ears. If you can get the 3V output of the Qutest to work without clipping, that will give the clearest, most detailed sound. I found that 3V out was too hot to be optimal for my SN3.

I experimented with 2V and 1V and forget which I settled on.
