The world's biggest hi-fi magazine, What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision, award the QBD76 HDSD DAC five stars

Our flagship DAC, the QBD76 HDSD, has been awarded top marks by the world's biggest hi-fi magazine, What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision. In a huge three-page 'Temptations' (The world's most desirable kit) feature in the new May issue, the QBD76 HDSD is reviewed complete with stunning photography,lid-off annotated shots and a lengthy quote from Chord Electronics' owner John Franks.
The review opens: "We reviewed the original QBD76 at the end of 2008. It was terrific. It has remained our favourite high-end DAC since then, despite the arrival of even higher priced rivals." The article went on to say: "We're huge fans of this converter. In a fast-improving market it remains a top-class performer...it deserves to be on the shortlist of anyone wanting a high-end DAC."
Across three pages, the review covered various connection features, our proprietary FPGA circuit technology and our buffer system, noting: "The beautifully built Chord uses proprietary parts - and it shows in its fine performance." Summing up in the verdict box, the QBD76HDSD received top honours of five stars with the magazine concluding: "Chord's QBD76 HDSD is a top-class digital-to-analogue convertor that delivers a brilliant sound from a well-built package."
