Is the Chord Qutest the same as Hugo TT 2 for single ended DAC only?

Is the Hugo TT 2 in single ended mode for DAC only the same as the Qutest?

No,  the number of taps in the TT2 twice that of the Hugo2

Sorry to everyone for posting this. I should have just looked at their tech page which spells it all out.

I'm going to go check these out locally in a few weeks. I wonder how big the listening difference is?

More than just the difference in taps between the two DACs.  Quoting Rob Watts:

 

"There are a lot more differences apart from the PSU - on the DAC side, it has better noise shapers on the FPGA (better depth and detail resolution) very much more advanced reference circuitry (taken from Dave, giving a darker and more full bodied SQ). On the analog side we have the second order analogue noise shaper topology, which eliminates HF distortion, and allows no high frequency distortion at all once a load is attached."
