Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC


I own a PS Audio Direct Stream DAC that I like a lot but heard my friends system with the Bricasti M1 and I am strongly thinking of changing my DAC and would love your feedback from other members that have heard either or both. I know they are both great but really thinking of changing my Dac from PS Audio Direct Stream to the Bricasti M1 DAC. I use a HP Desk top computer as source with Jplay and JRiver Media 19 and the outstanding Tellurium Q BLACK DIAMOND Reference USB Cable. The rest of my system is below. I listen to Classic Rock, jazz, vocal, some modern music and the usual audiophile stuff.

Thanks

You’re right, biil_k… Bricasti M1 uses the ADI 1955 chip. And while I’m not in a position to evaluate Bricasti -- never heard and can’t afford one -- I wouldn’t invest in a static-state DAC, because I think that FPGA is the future of digital conversion. 
Hey - any of you PS Audio guys or even Bricasti guys own or ever heard the PS Audio BKH 300 mono amps or even the stereo amp? They seem well liked?

I like to hear from people that have heard or own them. I put much more stock in first hand accounts then reviews. Reviews are helpful but i like the hot poop from the boots on the ground. 

I have a Pass Labs X250.8 and just ordered a new pair of Magico S5 MK II Speakers (trade my S5 originals) and thinking the 250.8 will probably be fine but I can get a pair of these BKH 300 for my Pass a couple thousand and am considering it?

Would you guys make this change? Would love your thoughts.

Thank you

I was one of the first people to take a chance and buy this very affordable/cheap upgrade and it is incredible. Here is the info. You will thank me - I promise you will be blown away.

One of the best audio upgrade purchases I have ever made. If you do any type of streaming you need to look at this. I don’t have anything to do with these guy other than I bought and it made such an incredible impact and it is cheap and made my system so much better I wanted to share.

Hey guys,
Have you guys seen this? It looks awesome and has ethernet network Roon endpoint built in for less than PS Audio DirectStream?
