Hi all,
I’d value opinions on this decision. I have a qutest and I’m looking at a new transport. It’s a toss up for me between the Allo DigiOne Signature and a project streambox s2-a good description of this device was posted here by it’s designer:

I prefer the project device which is understandably a more finessed product with an power switch etc, albeit at a higher cost. The choice is really coming down to bnc coax vs usb. I’m not expecting any audible differences and have seen results posted here which suggest measurable, if in audible, differences between the connection standards in favour of usb. The qutest designer seems to favour coax according to some accounts, but there are anecdotal complaints about the qutest usb on some forums-never backed up with measurements of course. Again I say that I don’t expect audible differences, but what’s the point of having a hobby if I can’t split hairs over the details from time to time. Any thoughts?
