USB to Dual Coax Bridge for Qutest DAC
I'm considering purchasing an Audiowise SRC-DX USB to Dual-Coax Bridge. This would replace the current Curious Cable Evolve USB connection from my Innuos Phoenix USB and Chord Qutest DAC. Looking at a relatively inexpensive tweak, that's supposed to have a significant impact on the performance of my DAC and SQ of my streaming experience. My current set up sounds excellent, but not as good as my other source components listed below.
Anyone have experience with USB to Coax converters? Coax cables? Interested in your comments and feedback.
My streaming set up is Innuos Zenith Mk3 (with 4TB SSD and Qobuz), Innuos Phoenix USB, Chord Qutest DAC with Sbooster PSU. I'm committed to the Quest and not interested in chasing DAC Nirvana by upgrading to a TT2, DAVE, or any other DAC priced at $5K or above.
My system is an Anthem MRX 540 pre-amp, Anthem MCA 325 power amp, B&W 804s, B&W CC and Surrounds, REL S/510 sub (only room for one), Denon DCD A110 SACD player (my best source component), Modwright Oppo105 universal player, EAT C Sharp turntable with Sutherland phono pre-amp.
Thanks!

@drlou77, I had a Qutest before trading it for a TT2 because I really love the Chord sound signature. I also use an Audiowise SRC-DX between my music server and my Chord MScaler where the listening chain goes, music server > AQ Diamond USB > SRC-DX > single WAVE High Fidelity Storm BNC > Chord Hugo MScaler. I implemented the SRC-DX so that I could bypass the less than stellar Amanero USB inputs used on Chord’s DACs. The Briscati M3 is a fine DAC, But I feel that it’s more of a lateral move given what you’ve already got in your system. Good luck! |
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 does this provide me? I hope you're wrong about it being a lateral move. Everything I've read, including posts here and on a few Facebook groups I follow, indicate that the Bricasti M3 is a significant step above my Qutest. Cheers. |
Provides no protection if the seller wants to scam a buyer. It provides evidence that the seller actually owns the item. The seller in this case has a good amount of all positive feedback. All these checkboxes are just a comfort level setting items, nothing else. |
