I have the Innuos Phoenix USB after my Zenith streamer. It is my understanding that the Phoenix reclocker was doing the heavy lifting. Does the M3 reclock the signal as well?
Thanks.
USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC
I'm considering purchasing an Audiowise SRC-DX USB to Dual-Coax Bridge. This would replace the current Curious Cable Evolve USB connection from my Innuos Phoenix USB and Chord Qutest DAC. Looking at a relatively inexpensive tweak, that's supposed to have a significant impact on the performance of my DAC and SQ of my streaming experience. My current set up sounds excellent, but not as good as my other source components listed below.
Anyone have experience with USB to Coax converters? Coax cables? Interested in your comments and feedback.
My streaming set up is Innuos Zenith Mk3 (with 4TB SSD and Qobuz), Innuos Phoenix USB, Chord Qutest DAC with Sbooster PSU. I'm committed to the Quest and not interested in chasing DAC Nirvana by upgrading to a TT2, DAVE, or any other DAC priced at $5K or above.
My system is an Anthem MRX 540 pre-amp, Anthem MCA 325 power amp, B&W 804s, B&W CC and Surrounds, REL S/510 sub (only room for one), Denon DCD A110 SACD player (my best source component), Modwright Oppo105 universal player, EAT C Sharp turntable with Sutherland phono pre-amp.
Thanks!

@drlou77 cleaner signal coming out of the Phoenix will mean less work for the Bricasti, potentially even better sound! If/when you get the M3 you can experiment with and without the Phoenix in the chain. |
Here's an update. The unit has the MDX board, but it's version 1.08. To upgrade to the latest, 1.1, it's $500 plus shipping. The upgrade affects the graphics display. Just curious as to the aesthetic and/or functionality if this upgrade. I want to be fair, but I don't want to buy an outdated unit and pay $500 to upgrade. |
