It emits a subtle field that Nordost says manipulates all electromechanical resonances in its immediate proximity, bringing them into sync so that the component's own internal noise falls and its timing and coherence improve. It is placed directly beneath a component or on top of it, one QPOINT per component, and its effects are cumulative across a system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eTwo modes are offered. Mode I and Mode II generate different resonances that emphasise different musical characteristics while lowering the noise floor, and switching between them is instant, so you can decide by ear which suits a particular component. Jacob Heilbrunn of The Absolute Sound, in December 2020, found both the QPOINT and the QSOURCE audibly beneficial while expecting readers to be sceptical of the explanation; Hi-Fi+ and High Fidelity each gave it an award in 2019.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eEach QPOINT ships with a DC power supply. Nordost's QSOURCE linear supply, which can power up to four QPOINTs plus a QNET, is the recommended upgrade, and we can arrange an audition of the two together. Start with one QPOINT under the source or DAC and listen before adding more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:16px\"\u003eKey technologies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 20px;padding-left:18px\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eResonance synchronisation.\u003c\/strong\u003e A low-level field aligns the electromechanical resonances within a component, lowering internal noise.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo modes.\u003c\/strong\u003e Mode I and Mode II are selectable on the unit and chosen by ear per component.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCumulative effect.\u003c\/strong\u003e One QPOINT per component;
