DAC for Bricasti Design M5 Network Player


Would appreciate the forums assistance in choosing a stand alone DAC for the Bricasti Design M5 Network Player. In addition to the M5 I have a Roon Nucleus. I would like to connect the M5 via AES cable to the DAC into Pass Labs XP30 via xlr balanced cables, into Pass Labs Aelph Zero Monoblocks, to Klipsch LaScala speakers. Streaming only Tidal and Quobuz. No CD's or stored media. Budget is $3000.00 I prefer to buy used from fellow Audition member.

Something to check out. If you do get to hear one please let us know your thoughts.
@ddafoe just curious why you didn't send back your M3 to Bricasti to have the Ethernet option installed? Seems if it had the MDx board it must have been a fairly new unit. It's like a 1000 option.
OP where are you located? Maybe there's a member that you can here the M3. Just a thought.
