The new M3 is one of the most musical dacs we have heard and its feature set is amazing:
1: straight Dac
2: dac with network card
3: dac with analog volume control with remote
4: dac with headphone amplifier.
Out of all of our dacs collection which includes Aqua, Ifi, Lumin, Naim, Light Harmonic, T+A, the M3 is just a fantastic performer for its price point and unique feature set.
The T+A DAC 8 is also fantastic but the headphone amp on the Bricasti is better and the M3 can allow for a Roon connection and direct streaming.
Overall we are thrilled that the Bricasti M3 is so good for a reasonable price point for a near reference calibre dac.
