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...

@audphile1  Happy New Year. I contacted the seller and may potentially pull the trigger this week. Without ever hearing the M3, I'm a bit hesitant to do just that.  Pre-buyers remorse. Did some critical listening on Qobuz this morning using a ...

@audphile1  Did you ever consider a Chord TT2?  Just curious.  
USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC
@audphile1 okay.  Will contact the seller and research the DAC a bit.  I don’t need the network option, but maybe that’s why it’s not selling.

@audphile1 thanks for your suggestion.  I can swing $3k for the M3:  It’s been listed for a while.  If it’s such a great deal, why hasn’t somebody snatched it up? Just thinking out loud, that’s all. Happy New Year!

@carlsbad2  Yeah, kind of.  Am I following a path based on urban legend?   @audphile1  I suppose I may look into a TT2 at some point, but I just retired and don’t have an extra $5k laying around.  Really that much better than a Qutest?  I get t...

@m-db  Dealer had to order it from California.  If I don't like it he will give me a credit towards another model.  He's a great guy and has always done right by me.

@fred60  I looked at the HT/1510.  Great unit and price.  Went over my budget and got a REL S/510.  My dealer, who knows my system and room very well priced it "very aggressively" because he new it was the right choice.  I also got 0% financing u...

@rwwear  It's 20 years old.   The servo mechanism failed.  It served me well. My REL S/510 arrives next week.  A new chapter begins. Thanks.  
Do you think driver “break in” is real?

@rick_n  Thanks for your detailed feedback.  You convinced me to pursue the S/510.  My dealer gave me a generous discount and I got 0% financing until 1/25!

Bought the REL S/510 today.  Thanks for all your help!

@2psyop I watch the video tonight.  Impressive.  Now I'm leaning toward the HT/1510, I think.  Or maybe the T/9x . . . ?

@2psyop Thanks for the heads up on Nemo Propaganda for sure. @rick_n Thank you for your feedback.  I'm going to give the REL T/9x's a good listen tomorrow.  Same with the S/510's.  Given the magnitude of the discount the B&W DB2D's (retail $4...

@rick_n  I like your logo. Sounds like you're supporting the REL T/9x, correct? If I'm feeling like it's my lucky day, should I bother with the upmarket REL or B&W models?
