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

@audphile1  Just so I have this straight, I should ask him to write down the word "displayed" on an index card ir such, place it next to the item, snap and send me that picture.  You've given me great advice, but I have to ask, what protection do...

@audphile1 Thanks.  
USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC
@audphile1 thanks. Joe confirmed that there's no sonic difference for the display upgrade.   I am going to purchase the item today.  The seller wants to use PayPal Friends and Family.  He has an excellent rating on Audiogon and other such sites....

@audphile1  Here's an update.  The unit has the MDX board, but it's version 1.08.  To upgrade to the latest, 1.1, it's $500 plus shipping.  The upgrade affects the graphics  display.   Just curious as to the aesthetic and/or functionality if this...

@audphile1  I have the Innuos Phoenix USB after my Zenith streamer.  It is my understanding that the Phoenix reclocker was doing the heavy lifting.  Does the M3 reclock the signal as well? Thanks.  
USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC
@testrun  @audphile1  Thank you, both.  Called and emailed Joe today.  Waiting to hear back from him. Since the MDX board does indeed come with the M3, I'll probably purchase it tomorrow.  Would also like to hear back about the head phone upgra...

@testrun  Thanks for the information.  I hope it has the board.  I'll find out tomorrow. Cheers.

@testrun Called and emailed them today.  Waiting to hear back.  I have the serial # so I should know by tomorrow. Thank you!  
USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC
@testrun  How do I determine if the DAC has the current generation MDX board?  The seller doesn't know, but gave me the serial #.  I guess I can call Bricasti. Would you say that if it doesn't have this board, I should move on?  The DAC has been...
