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!

@audphile1 Yes, it does work.  Really sounds good coming from my noisy laptop.  Imagine how good it will sound with the streamer.

Have a nice weekend.

Well, you haven't steered me wrong yet, so I just placed an order for the Audience Studio One USB cable.  It arrives tomorrow and I will begin breaking it in immediately.  How long should I give it before I do some critical listening?

I've never spent this much on a cable before, but if it knocks my socks off, I will return the Mirage and keep it.

Any thoughts on what I should notice when listening to the Studio One?  I have until 2/9 to make a decision.  I'll probably spend a good part of the weekend listening to Qobuz.

More to come.  Thanks. 

Nice! Like any cable around 200hrs but I’m pretty sure it will sound good right out of the box. 

What I usually do is listen to an “upgrade” for at least a day or so, then go back to my previous reference. It should be obvious once you switch back to DH Labs, and once again when you switch back to Audience. As I mentioned earlier, Audience should sound fuller, more natural and dynamic with better bass. It wasn’t difficult to hear the difference in my system.
