USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC
@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.

@audphile1  Thanks.  Will do. I will check out.  Just curious, whats an Audience AU24SE+ go for?You have piqued my interest. I have an after market power cord.  I don't know if it's the right one for the Bricasti.  What would you recommend?  I'm... 
B&W 805 D4: which 5 channel power amp should I go with (home theater): Parasound or Rotel
I have B&W 804s.  They have a thirst for power.  I have an Anthem MCA 325 feeding them 225 wpc.  The sing so sweetly, especially when they're played loud.  I used to have a Rotel 1095 (200 wpc).  I thought it was great.  When I went to my loca...

@audphile1  The Qutest has a tiny footprint, as you know.  It's sitting on top of my streamer.  The M3 needs to have its own space.  This required that I get a longer USB cable.  I called The Cable Company and they gave me a good deal on the DH L...

@testrun  The storm delayed the delivery of my M3.  I have it, but won’t be able to install it until Friday.  I will listen this weekend.  Not sure I’ll be able to give it a 100% thumbs up, because I’ll be breaking in a brand new 2M DH Labs Silve...

@audphile1  @treynolds155  The seller dropped the DAC off at FEDEX today.  I will take delivery on Thursday, and have it playing on Friday. I will post my impressions over the weekend. Thanks!  
Ripping CDs
@rvpiano  I use an Innuos Zenith mk3.  It rips cds, is an excellent streamer, and I subscribe to Qobuz. I’m starting with rare, oop cds, and meanwhile, I continue to listen to SACDs and blu rays.  I use Qobuz to preview new stuff before I buy, a... 
Tidal FLAC vs. Qobuz
@mojo771  I started with Tidal when Jay Z owned it.  Then I tried Qobuz.  I ran both for a year.  Just cancelled Tidal.  Qobuz has a more diverse selection of jazz, classical, and other types of music.  Many are in Hi Res.  Their version of Aja 2... 
Little help with REL subwoofers, please?
@northman  REL was having a sale on the S/510 when I bought it.  I think it was $2,200 plus 0% financing until 1/25.  The T/9x is $1,500.  I'm not trying to spend your money, but I got a great deal and a sub that's just perfect in my system. Goo... 
Little help with REL subwoofers, please?
@northman  I’m going to buck the trend.  My treated room is small, 11 x 14.  I have on REL S/510 with B&W 804s.  The sub is invisible in my room.  It’s tuned perfectly to integrate with my main speakers with Anthem’s Arc Genesis.  I don’t lis...
