| New streamer @mclinnguy buckle up and get your puke bags out. It’s a rollercoaster ride for sure. At 230hrs it’s not cooked yet. Figure about 400hrs to settle. | |
| USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC Sounds good! | |
| What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another? @benanders happy listening! | |
| New streamer @signaforce hmmmm I don’t remember that USB thread. as to break in, don’t worry about it, just enjoy the music. If you don’t hear any changes during the 200hr time period that’s fine. Some cables change, some don’t. | |
| USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC I’ll add - do not make any connections between your components when they’re powered on or in standby. Turn it all off/power down and if you have to, unplug from outlet. | |
| USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC Are you talking about a fuse on the Bricasti? There’s no fuse there. Find a little button on the back of the Bricasti dac by the power cord and press it. That’s the “breaker” so to speaker. That should get the dac back up and running. USB card in ... | |

| USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC Forget whether or not you have a remote. I don’t either. I replicated your problem. Let’s fix it (hope it will) then you can call Joe and ask him why it does what it does. | |
| USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC Lou - CtlTtrig is your problem! Should be CtlREMOTE like mine. You’ll have your sound back. Hit status and set ctltrig to CtlREMOTE by turning the knob. then hold the standby button for few seconds to reset. Reboot dac from power breaker in the ba... | |
| USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC @drlou77 before we declare it bricked, let’s try some basic troubleshooting… Let’s compare settings: 1. Reboot the DAC using the breaker switch in the back of the unit. Shut it off. Wait 10sec. Turn it back on again 2. hit the input button and ... | |
