Solving a problem of isolation and uniformity
13 Nov 2021
Verified Buyer
I purchased a pair of Qutest stands to solve a couple of issues, residual heat and stacking awkwardness.

When I saw the stand, I could see that it could solve both of my issues simultaneously. So I ordered one to get a look and feel of the product; my first impressions were that it was heavy for its simplicity, which is always a good thing for me. I also liked the way it cradled my Qutest DAC with a very snug fit. My understating from reading about the product on the Chord Electronics website is that the stand also helps dissipate the heat produced when cradling the Qutest products.

I can confirm that the stand achieves both in equal measure. I now have neatly stacked Qutest DAC, and Qutest phono pre-amp and the heat is dissipated enough that the DAC and pre-amp are much cooler to the touch. Looks really neat too.

There is only one issue I need to bring to your attention. The inner corners of the stands have an upright insert, not sure what they are made from; they become detached very easily and even when I push them back in, they will separate as soon as I lift the Qutest out of the cradle. This also means that I have to be doubly careful when putting the Qutest back in the cradle. I am not sure if not having them in place would affect the performance of the stands; only Chord can confirm that.

It gets four stars because of this issue; other than that, I must say I think the stands are neat and attractive, and they have certainly been a worthwhile addition to my system.
