I am wondering if I tried powering directly from the USB 5v (no buck converter at all) could damage the QDX?
Dan,
There would not be enough voltage to run the QDX if you put 5 volts to the power socket. I see no reason that it would be damaged, just not work.
It is possible that with a slight mod to the QDX it could run at low power from 5 volts directly. Possible but probably not worth the effort.
