does the Meitner MA3i (which as i understand has integrated streamer) feature quboz connect? My internet research says yes, but wanted to confirm.   
Briacasti M1s2 vs Lumin X2 vs Grimm MU2 ?
ive heard GREAT things about the Meitner. Also, I respect the the quote!! so good. I am latino (Arturo), so ’pendejo’ rings perfectly in this context!   Im leaning X2 for the optical conversion. Going to listen  
Briacasti M1s2 vs Lumin X2 vs Grimm MU2 ?
I’m going to try to listen to these and go from there - the obvious solution.   I will add that part of the motivation is to increase the ease of operation, the UI.  I Feel like I’ve been getting by  using JPlay to stream Qobuz to the Bric.  For ... 
Briacasti M1s2 vs Lumin X2 vs Grimm MU2 ?
“Well, that’s just like your opinion, man”  - The dude.    Kidding aside, the First Watt SIT-5’s are glorious. No way I part with them.   
Briacasti M1s2 vs Lumin X2 vs Grimm MU2 ?
The problem with the M1 as a preamp is the relatively low output RCA voltage (1.2V) going into my relatively lower gain, lower powered amps (First watt Sit-5 monos), probably not enough drive into my not super high efficiency speakers. Bricasti 1... 
Briacasti M1s2 vs Lumin X2 vs Grimm MU2 ?
Hi there, Zlone.  The M1Se2 is a killer DAC. Transparent and able to layer nuance with a nice texture and soundstage. Yet is plenty organic feeling without any digital hash. The M1 does what it does within the realm of musical believability, not s...

Thanks for your reply. What about the X2 gives your the most enjoyment? I’ve read some reviews, and they spend a lot of time talking about the guts: femtos  and bespoke DAC’s, etc. How does it SOUND to you? You don’t need to discuss all the electr...

I realize this doesn’t help the OP, but wanted to chime in here. Streaming is ALL NEW to me. A long time CD guy who sort of fell out of the hobby for more than 10 years.  I read and read and read, and my head spun like mad Eventually I scored a a... 
Review on Bricasti Design M3 DAC
brief update: I installed JPlay on my IPad and once configured (integrated Qobuz) it saw the Bricasti immediately and plays QoBuz content, no separate server. My understanding is the IPad in this scenario (from Qobuz and other sources) doesnt tou... 
Amp for Verity Parsifal encore
Trigger pulled: First Watt SIT-5 mono amplifiers. Being made as we speak!  
Review on Bricasti Design M3 DAC

Amp for Verity Parsifal encore
this is a GREAT thread.  I've had my PE's for years, having driven them with Nagra VPA's (amazing), Berning OLT amp (also), but also various other brands: Jeff Rowland and most recently Cary SLI 80 signature (current 80w per in ultralinear mode 40... 
Review on Bricasti Design M3 DAC
i scored a well maintained M1S2 with the network card (arriving early next week) so i plan on using it as a stand alone streamer/dac. Pretty excited. But I have to admit, the logistics of how to stream are a bit over my head. Remember i only real...
