I’ve owned my Bricasti M1 Limited Gold for 5 years and enjoy it immensely. When I was looking (at that time) I also listened to MSB and Weiss and went with the Bricasti. My previous DAC was a BMC DAC/Pre. I’ve also recently replaced my solid state BMC amps with a Bricasti M25. My source over this time has been Laufer Teknik's Memory Player through three series of upgraded models.
Bricasti's customer service is excellent, as noted in earlier posts.
A major factor for consideration is the rest of your system components. It truly is a synergy thing, and this factors into the DAC’s performance and sound in your particular system.
Auditioning in your system, or a similar system, is definitely recommended; e.g., how does it sound with amps similar to yours (tube or solid state), with similar speakers (horn, sealed or bass-reflex), fed from a similar source (dedicated Roon server, or other mechanism).
Worth taking your time, and using your own ears to make the decision.
