| 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. | |

| New streamer Cool. If it’s all new, give it about 200hrs. | |
| Speaker Cables : Moderate priced @mitch2 +1 that's a wise and solid advice. $1500 can be invested in a better source, preamp, etc. a much better ROI than the speaker cable upgrade | |

| Cable upgrades @jimboman that is a step in the right direction. I applaud your initial approach to just fall on a sword but in this case I’m glad we were able to convince you. If you used regular PayPal Goods and Services, you may be able to file a claim with Pa... | |
| Speaker Cables : Moderate priced Mogami is the cable you use when you either sold your good cables and have the mogami as a backup to hold you over, or are listening to the system that’s on the level of mogami…low-fi or lower tier mid-fi. It has no place in a good system as it wi... | |
