Review on Bricasti Design M3 DAC

My review was just posted on Stereo Times website on the Bricasti Design M3 DAC. If you are searching for a DAC/streamer/analog volume control DAC, no preamp needed with the M3, in the price range of $5,000, you might want to get the details of why you might want to audition this piece. It's superlative in both build quality, innovative design, and most importantly in it's beautiful musical performance.

I spent a lot of time in the Bricasti room at AXPONA 2019. For some reason, it was sparsely attended. They had great music playing in glorious sound, all at realistic and reasonable volumes. The room treatment they brought with them apparently allowed them to get much smoother and better integrated bass than most rooms I was in.

No BOOM, no trite audiophile music, no danger of ear damage. A great sounding system. That few attendees bothered to spend time there made me scratch my head.

Regarding MQA, it is a combination of equalization and lossy compression. That some high-end manufacturers have resisted the pressure to sell it is not surprising.
