USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC
PS - if you know of another vendor that will let me borrow, audition and return cables, please suggest them too.

Audience Studio One USB in back in my system and it sounds fabulous. Last matter: ethernet cable up grade.  I'm considering upgrading the one from my router to my mesh router.  I'm thinking that a modest upgrade will be fine here. The other woul...

@txp1 I did not. I am still awaiting the delivery of the Audience Studio One USB cable.  I tested a sampler and had to return it. I just got a UPS Tracking # sent tonight, so I should have it very soon. Once I'm back on-line with streaming, I a...

@txp1 Thanks for sharing your story.  I am very interested in the SQ improvement you realized from upgrading your ethernet cable. My set up uses wifi to send the signal to a ASUS mesh system.  I am unable to run an ethernet cable from my router t...

Update:  After listening to the Audience Studio One USB cable with my Bricasti M3 for about a week, I decided to purchase it.  It’s way more money than I’ve ever spent on a cable, but my ears told me to go for it. The Bricasti/Studio One combinat... 
Bricasti M3 In the house
@garynospamm  Hello,  I just got my M3 about two weeks ago.  I use it mostly for streaming Qobuz and ripped CDs from my Innuos Zenith mk3 and Innuos Phoenix USB.     My unit has MDx 1.08 firmware.  I see you just updated your M3 to 1.14.  I’m cu...

@audphile1  The Cable Company is letting me borrow the Audience Cable for two weeks.  However, the 30 day clock is ticking on the DH Labs.  It expires on 2/9.  In essence, I have until next Friday to make my decision whether to purchase the Audie...

@audphile1 Yes, I replaced the fuse and it’s working fine.  Sounds great with the Bricasti.  200 hours puts me at next Tuesday.  Hopefully, I will hear a big improvement over the weekend. I heard from the seller over the weekend.  He was in the E...

@audphile1  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?...

@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.

@audphile1  You are correct sir.  In the absence of my streamer, I hooked my laptop and Qobuz up to the Bricasti tonight via the Mirage USB cable.  It sounds pretty, damn good. I contacted The Cable Company today.  I bought the Mirage from them.... 
USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC
@audphile1  Yeah, that sounds like a plan.  The seller sold me a great DAC for a great price.  Positive feedback warranted.  Done. I kept him apprised of the difficulties I was having getting the unit to operate.  I suggested that if the DAC nee...

@audphile1  Since my streamer may not be up for a few days (long story), I feel compelled to give the seller feedback asap. I'm not going post anything publicly, but will send him an email. IMO, he sold me a good DAC, at a fair price, but did n...

@audphile1 Thanks.  Couldn't have done it without you and others in this forum. Now onto streaming.  
USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC
@audphile1 BINGO!  My streamer is still down, but I bought a SPDIF cable and hooked it up as per your instructions.  Repeated steps, but this time I switched the input on the Bricasti to IN2.  Push play on my Oppo and, voila, Free Falling, by Tom ...
