Help with Bricasti M3 -


I just bought a Bricasti M3 with MDX Board running v1.08. I will upgrade the firmware as soon as I can arrange it with Bricasti.

I am confused on the 2 different music paths... between NDSD PCM and DSD.

I have a large Digital Library on an external drive connected to my desktop PC, which is connected via Wi-Fi on our Fios 2GB fiber connection. I am using an Orbi WiFi extender to output a CAT8 cable to the connection on the M3.

While when I switch filters between Minimal and Linear - I hear a difference in presentation ( as I mostly listen to Jazz, I have found I like the minimal much more).

Switching between PCM and DSD does not seem to make any change at all.  No momentary lapse when making this change ( I have the remote) leads me to ask, "is it working"?

I have a lot of DSD64 files, as well as every flavor of PCM from 192/24 down to 16/44 

I have tried switching these "on the fly" with both types of files but cannot hear any difference at all...  Is there something I am doing incorrectly?  Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

 

I have a VAC Signature Mk2 SE Preamp, PassLabs X250.8 and B&W 803D4’s for 2 Channel Music with a Rythemik EHP15HP2 Sub.  I am also considering to add a EtherRegen 

Same system for HT- I have a Marantz SR8015 which serves as PrePro  and a PassLabs X5 driving the center B&W HTM82D4,  my old N805s for Surround and CDM5’s as Rear Surround and a Rythemik E15HP2 sub (connected to the Marantz for LFE in theater and Using stereo Line out XLRs from the VAC for music)

Wi-Fi is dependent upon FiOS reliability but not in the signal path. If the internet pukes you lose all control except OFF.

You are correct in that there is no discernable difference between DoP and DSD direct playback. You worry too much. Enjoy the music.
