BRICASTI M3 DAC

jimfinn... love over gold conclusively proves that redbook can compete with anything. i think the perceived limitations of redbook are directly the result of poor production. the guys producing the recordings are no different than you and i. many  producers simply have poor taste or don’t care. 
for every love over gold there are literally hundreds of awful recordings. 

Wondering if anyone here has heard the Exasound PlayPoint DM?  If so, how does it compare to the M3?  How is the headphone amp?  It gets pretty great reviews, but haven't seen a lot of talk about it.  Sorry for slightly changing the subject.  The PlayPoint DM and the M3 are the 2 DACS I am interested in, but haven't heard either.

My M3 with ethernet is a big step up from my PS Audio top of line DAC with an Ethernet card. This is also true when using a cd transport via coax or USB, even with relatively modest cables. Yes, the M3 is more expensive but the difference, for me, is totally justifiable price-wise.
