Bricasti Model 1 Series II DAC


This DAC seems pretty interesting from both an analogue as well as digital conversion point of view:

I currently own a highly modded DirectStream MKI DAC, but this DAC I really want.... MSRP is around $12K....

Any opinions on this DAC?

Considering the taller chassis, I didn’t think that you’d be able to upgrade from the M1SE to the new Series 2.   Glad to hear that Bricasti is able to offer this to existing M1 owners.  
 

Testrun - please keep us updated, as you get more hours on yours.  I’m very curious to hear about the sonic differences of the upgrade.  Hopefully the lower frequencies are improving for you!

 

 

Great feedback.  Thank you.  
 

Are you folks (who upgraded from M1SE) finding that the sound continues to improve as you rack up more hours on it?

Again, thank you all for chiming in.  
 

If you notice any more notable improvements/changes as you get more hours on the new circuits, please report back.  
 

If/when I pull the trigger on the upgrade, I will do the same!

I will echo all of the previous comments about the S2 upgrade.  I could not be happier with this upgrade.  The improvements are not subtle.   Worth every hard earned penny!

Fast turnaround, stellar service!

Kudos to Bricasti for supporting their customers in this way!!!

Photos of the new display are now on Bricasti’s website.   The optional display upgrade makes for a cleaner installation, because the remote is received via the front panel, making the separate receiver obsolete.

That’s my $0.02.

I am one happy customer!
