there's this:
https://www.amazon.com/Aqua-Quick-Connect-Adapter-Titan/dp/B00IOBIMLG
but $50 for the adapter plus the cost of the braided hose seems too much.
the Apeks Flight quick disconnect hose is braided and has a connector that looks similar - but I'm not sure if it's interchangeable with the Titan

For dive shops/charters and rental gear. If a problem occurs with a rental reg, you can swap it out in seconds, no tools.

This is the connector for the Apeks Flight... looks similar but I don't think they're the same. On the Flight you press on the ring on the second stage side to release the locking mechanism

No they are not the same. But the first solution will work. A little expensive but worth it for 2 weeks of diving. I love my mares which has the braided hose. thanks again.
Not sure why the adapter is so expensive in the US. I am currently living in Belgium where stuff is often ridiculously expensive and found it at 2 dive shops for 24 Euros.
Since my wife has a calypso regulator set with qr 2nd stages I figured the adapter was a smart addition to our safe-a-dive kit in case she ever has a problem with a hose as it would be much easier to find a standard hose than it would be to find an aqualung qr hose.
In hindsight, I regret buying a regulator set with proprietary qr 2nd stage and hose fittings but at 144 Euros for the entire setup it was too good a deal to pass up and the adapter will resolve any compatibility issues with hoses in the future.
