Hi everyone my first post!
I have a Chord Quest that I'm happy with, but I'm looking for an eq solution for my problematic room. I thought about testing the highly acclaimed Rme Dac. I have seen most reviews on YouTube, most seem to think qutest is the best, but only by a slight margin. The general consensus is that the qutest is slightly smoother and Rme is crisp and sharp. One reviewer believes that it is because of the much higher tap count of the chord. And also said that it can't be equlized away because it's not about frequency but probably because of tap count.
I saw Amir write this in the end of his review of the chord: I wonder how good of a DAC Rob could design using an off-the-shelf DAC chip. Likely would be just as good and cost a lot less....
So my last question would be, is there any science saying that a higher tap count is not necessary? Because it makes a lot of sense to have a higher count.
