High Quality dac with network streamer saves $1,000s


Having compared and done a lot of research . I have compared verygood dacs adding on 
$3-4k  network streamers-servers , vs the Bricasti M3 dac- network streamer.
Bricasti has a ton of trickle down technologies in this setup ,and very-well known in the professional 
mastering realm ,before consumer . Your computer takes its data and send its to the dedicated Lynex 
based operating system ,which filters and then 8 x upsampled the dual mono Analog Devises 1599 multi bit dacs  ,linear power supply  and filtering , Totally eliminating the needto spend $2-3k+ on a dedicated server ,I listened and compared plus extra cables, and powercords , the only thing I bought was a  decent Wireworld starlight Ethernet from the modem, and most important cable by far from network hub to the dac,streamer .BTW the uptone audio Ether regen truly cleans the noise riding on the line , andEthernet is noticeably cleaner then a USB cable . The Wireworld platinum 8 I tried going into the streamer ,Avery noticeable improvement ,thsts my next upgrade , a good power cord is always a plus . I was going to buy my brothers latest Denafrips terminator  using with a Melco n100 streamer sever but, the Bricasti setup was noticeably better and getting for around $5k a steal , and also having the dedicated1bit DSD thst doesnot have to convert to pcm , and verygood analog preamp section 
if youwant Toruń direct,and headphone option ,100% Differentially balanced a Steal in sonics as well as function and if compared a bunch of dacs with theMelco as well as Innous at our audio get togethers,all equipment had identical system and Ad one to make this call with others verifying it just when I was going to spend another $3k on a server,streamer I am now saving for reference speaker upgrade ,having excellent quality and design all in one product has several electrical advantages in less wiring ,cables and signal path, I just thought well worth mentioning it saved me $3k.

Well, okay, maybe I exaggerated a bit. :>)  The bass is certainly there as well as the smoothness of analog with plenty of detail.  I like the Cary sound.
As  very long time Linux user I'm not sure software upsampling is really what you want. ;)

I purchased a very basic switch:
Amazon.com: TP-Link 8 Port Gigabit PoE Switch | 8 PoE+ Ports @63W, w/ 1 Uplink Gigabit Port + 1 SFP Slot | Desktop/Wall-Mount | Plug & Play | Limited Lifetime Protection | Traffic Optimization (TL-SG1210P) : Electronics

Two of these SFPs (one for the switch and one for the EtherREGEN)
Amazon.com: TP-LINK Gigabit SFP module, 1000Base-SX Multi-mode Fiber Mini GBIC Module, Plug and Play, LC/UPC interface, Up to 550/220m distance (TL-SM311LM) : Electronics

Fiber: 
Amazon.com: FLYPROFiber 5M OM1 LC to LC Fiber Patch Cable, 1GB Duplex LC-LC 50/125um Multimode Fiber Optic Cable Cord LSZH 5Meter(16ft) : Electronics

I replaced my EtherREGEN with:

You can find it cheaper on ebay or Amazon.   There are cheaper ones around but based on what I paid for the EtherREGEN, I decided to pick something else other than the cheapest.  

To have made an apples to apples comparison with the EtherREGEN + LPS-1.2 I wish I could have used the LPS on the StarTech converter but it didn't have enough current so I used an iFi iPower supply I already had.   Maybe someday I'll try a Teddy Pardo or something similar on it.

I purchased the following CAT8 cable for my short run into my M5 (or DAC).   It is very well made with great components, and doesn't cost crazy $$.
