Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
JbnachmanFear not my friend. The PS Audi DirectStream gets MUCH MUCH MUCH better after even some break in. These DACs need even more break in time than most. The consensus seems to be around 400 hours. Trust me is will evolve into a totally differ...

"" Does the DirectStream sound better with that cable?"This seems like a critical comparison.""I wish I tried it but I didn't and I can tell you at this level a $3.99 usb cable can suffocate a system like it is doing to the Bricasti. I am sure it ...

Hi Jon2020,Not that easy. My dealer is in TX and I'm in MA. I called Fidelis in NH where I bought the Tellurium Q Black Diamond USB cable and they also sell Bricasti and they are checking their Bricasti against their Tellurium Q Black Diamond USB ... 
Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
Steve - or anyone else I really need help! I got the Bracasti M1 and I am really bummed. It will not work with my Tellurium Q Black Diamond USB Cable. This is a huge problem for me. This cable made my DirectStream MUCH MUCH MUCH better and it just... 
Review: Darwin Cable Company Truth Interconnect
Just traded away my Cardas Clear interconnects in a combo trade with my PS Audio DirectStream DAC for a Bricasti M1 DAC. No need for them anymore as the Darwin TRUTH is a very simply heard significant upgrade over the Cardas Clears and I loved my ... 
Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
Thanks Bill_! It funny because the new PS Audio DirectStream Pikes Peak upgrade really changes the sound signature of the DAC and it really takes some time to get used to. It really increases the instrument separation that was already good but is ...

Bricasti M1 USB
This thread is a little older but I have a brand new Bricasti M1 on the way to me and I will have it this Thursday. I traded my PS Audio DirectStream for it and was wondering if you M1 owners have any recommendations or feedback on break in or any... 
Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
I am not sure the thin use of "salesman" is real accurate on balance. Salesman is more of a stereotype than anything else and it's semantically challenged as life just isn't black and white nor is audio. There is a lot of gray. He takes the time t... 
Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
I mean its nice to think of what can be. Heck I am a fan of that for sure. Always have been. I have no doubt this will be a nice sounding DAC in its price range but lets be honest there are some really good DAC's already in that price range that s... 
Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
Them there are some mighty fine big boy - big pants DACs. Them there former Theta folks at Schiit never intended to play with these fella's regardless of what their marketing folks may be pushing. They make mighty fine stuff in their price points ... 
Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
Thanks - what is a Regen USB unit from Uptone Audio and what does it do? Would it help using it just with my computer or does it need to go with a streamer transport. Thx 
Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
Yes I am really glad to now better understand the importance of the transport. I kind of wish I knew about that streaming transport before I mentally committed to the M1 but I am thinking my next move after the M1 is to go with a Auralic Aries str...
