USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC
@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....

@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.

@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 ...

@audphile1  Thank you for your continued support. The fuse on my Innuos Zenith mk3 blew when I rebooted it last night.  I have a bad back and replacing it is a big tricky for me. In the interim, I will buy an inexpensive coax cable from Amazon ...

@audphile1  Hello.  It appears I blew a fuse when I rebooted my streamer.  I am going to replace it and try again. I bought this component on US Audio Mart.  The seller has been in business for 20 years with a Feedback Rating of 100% for 58 tran...

Yes, I did everything.  I’m having a problem rebooting my server.  Gotta fix that first.   Thanks

@audphile1  Followed your instructions.  Still no sound.  Any other thoughts or suggestions before I pack it up tomorrow? Thanks for trying.

@audphile1  CtlREMOTE, even though I don’t have a remote?  If you don’t mind me asking, what is the nature of this setting? So,hit Status, change to CtlREMOTE, reset by holding standby for a few seconds, but not as long as 10, reboot (turn off f...

@audphile1 @tvad  Hello to all.  I find myself in uncharted waters and need your help. The M3 I purchased as a 9/10 item on US Audio Mart is not working as advertised.   The unit is connected to my preamp correctly, yet there is no sound when I... 
USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC
@audphile1  I've only listened to it for about 30 minutes thus far, but I am blown away.  I played AJA from Qobuz (24/192) and, wow. The sound was full, soundstage deep and wide, and the digital artifacts - gone.     I am going to play it 24x7, ...

@audphile1 The Audience USB is $1,000 new for a 2M cable.  I can't afford that right now, buy what does $700+ over my DH Labs Mirage do for me?  Are you able to describe the effect on sound quality for me?  I'm sticking with my Innuos streamer, Ph...

@audphile1 Thanks.  I will look around for a used cable.  Do you have a recommendation for a power cord, too? Thanks.
