Bricasti Happiness
Much has been said here about Bricasti products so I’m not adding much new. But wanted to say I purchased an M1 Series II DAC with a network card (no plans for immediate networking) and it’s one of my best moves ever. I’ve never experienced this level of digital goodness. I’ve probably owned 5 DACs over 12 years, each a step up, but I’ll be happy stopping here. Playback Designs might be the ultimate goal but I’m in no hurry. Still experimenting with connections, for now using a Tubulus Concentus BNC from the SACD transport. I have an Aurender streamer and am thinking Shunyata Alpha USB out to my Gaia with external clock, then AES into the Bricasti, but willing to try the Alpha straight in as well.
It doesn’t feel like a downgrade now when switching from the analog front-end to the digital one.
I’ve called Bricasti and spoken to Joe several times, always great service, he even called on his own just to give me a little more info on the unit.
Glad to hear any other listening impressions or what connections have worked for others.

bricasti is a quality outfit that makes quality dacs -- i enjoyed my time with their m1 and m3 models -- the sound quality is on par with other top solid state units such as those from weiss and msb, which is very very good the op should try streaming though!! it has been such an enjoyable, transformative listening experience for me (and many others) |
@jaybe Understood. Even so, presumably you are using the Aurender app to control your playback, so you could use the network interface on the M1. It was a startling improvement over USB on my system. |
