Chord Electronics Releases Qutest Rack System
Chord Electronics has launched a bespoke equipment support for its expanding Qutest range of hi-fi components.
The new, modular, Qutest System Stand from Chord Electronics is precision-engineered to perfectly accommodate the company’s multi-award-winning Qutest DAC, Huei MM/MC phono stage, as well as upcoming products so hints the brand.
Hewn from the same high-quality aircraft-grade aluminium the Kent-based audio specialist is renowned for, the Qutest System Stand is entirely modular enabling tiers to be bought and stacked as devices are added.
The Qutest System Stand has been cleverly engineered using thermal coupling, we are informed. Basically, the stand’s clever design helps to dissipate any heat originating from the electronics being housed. The structure also cossets the units which are lowered into the Qutest System Stand and securely holds them at each end.
Naturally, the stand’s design gives unrestricted access to both the front and rear panels of the devices, as well as allowing unfettered visibility of the polychromatic control spheres.
The base of each tier features a rubber foot at each corner, and each tier’s top surface features four shallow spherical recesses to accommodate additional levels. The Qutest System Stand is entirely produced in Great Britain and is hand-built in the Kent factory. It is available now for $490 per tier in Jett Black and comes pre-assembled and ready to use.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
