Bricasti Design M1 SE - W/ LAN Network Streamer - Version 1.51 V. Denafrips Terminator

Cheesebert they sure do. My former msb discrete had an Ethernet renderer.

@dpac996, did you happen to compare the M3 with the M1SE?

The M3 + LAN streamer looks to be priced similarly to what a used M1SE with the streamer installed goes for.   I'm curious how the two compare sound wise...

Cheers

@dpac996 my bad. Looks like MSB is going modular now. Also looks like they changed owner a few years back. How is their latest DAC?

Get any DAC that you like and pair it with a Sonare xxxRendu model. I use the microRendu. I will need a second one soon and will get the opticalRendu for ROON Only, for under $1K. This will give you state of the art streaming. You can also use a ratty old noisy computer stored anywhere in your house. There is more to this but it is not difficult to setup.

A lot of people pooh pooh using a regular computer on an audio system saying it is old school. I would never take my computer out of my system. It is not in the same room as the system.

BTW - I still think most DACs have a better USB input over Ethernet RJ45, such as the $13K Mola Mola Tambaqui. Only DAC that I have heard people using the Ethernet is the Lumin DAC, especially the X1 and its Fiber optical input (not to be confused with Toslink).

@yyzsantabarbara Not my experience but ymmv; Ethernet has consistently been the better choice. USB is a flawed interface for high end digital but we are stuck with it.
