I trialed someone's Qutest a few days ago and as a result bought a 2nd hand one that arrived today.

The one I trialed, the lead had an on / off switch near the end that plugs into the DAC, the one that came with the one I bought doesn't ... should it from new or maybe the one I trialed had an upgraded power supply??
 
Probably a question to pose to either the person that let you trial theirs or for Chord support , no ?
 
Ask the person who owns the Qutest you tried what power supply he's using. Stock Chord PS does not have any switches and is meant to be "on" at all times.
There's a whole thread about different power supplies for Qutest:
 
The qtest is always on. I used an allo 5v lps, works fine. I no longer use it.
I have switched to all active with okto dac8pro.

The person's I trialed was 2nd hand as well so he may not know as he hasn't had it from new and I'm sure it'll be days to get a response from Chord.

I'm sure there are many people that frequent here that own and have bought them from new, a "helpful" person I'm sure wouldn't mind taking 20 seconds out of their day to help a forum member, un unhelpful person however .......
