Bricasti M1 vs DCS Debussy

 I have an old DCS Elgar/Purcell combo that has served me well for over 15 years. Love the sound as its faults are to the warm or soft side.  Picked up a Bricasti M1 and was blown away at how good it is. In fact I am committed to it and I have sent it in for the latest updates (MDX/Firmware).  
 I only do red book and the Bricasti M1 from a tech perspective seems to be a strong choice. If I utilized hi Rez (computer/network) files or streamed Tidal and its MQA formats I may have looked at other offerings.
 Its amazing that almost every forum thread I read has Audiotroy on it. It seems that I retail store owner would stay away from forums. Business is business and I guess it must work for them. Sad but it is what it is.
 I listen to opinions of end users and try to form a consensus. 
 
   

The MDx upgrade in my system was huge improvement. Every aspect was improved in my M1. Most startling change was image improvement. Depth, width, and height is now just fantastic.  Nothing about the MDx upgrade was subtle. My M1 had the 1.3(?) firmware.
