My Bricasti M1 expereince......


I got my Bricasti yesterday as promised by Brian. I let is sit for 24 hours to get to room temperature in order to avoid any condensation issues (it is cold up here!).

I installed it today and made a quick comparison with me PWD MkII with the Upgrade Company Statement mods. The M1 blew the PWD MkII out of the water so easy...

Yes it is double the price but it is worth it. I thought the PWD sounded very good but in comparison it sounded lean with a lot less body and with a defused soundstage. The M1 sounds real and with a very focus soundstage. You can pin point every instrument and voice in its own space. It just sounds a lot more analog and natural.



It is so good that I am going to sell my Wadia 27 and PWD MkII to buy a second unit for my other system.



In addition to the beautiful design and great performance dealing with Brian Zolner was a total pleasure. He was so quick in responding all my questions and a total gentleman.

musicman, just got my bricasti, with all the new upgrades installed... Wondering what filters you use? I go between min 0, 2, 4... Not sure I can reliably pick a winner...

Next week I get the gold hi-fi fuses, and then I'm done I reckon!

Fantastic DAC.
Thanks,

Now I'm wondering if I should have gotten the Supreme fuses? I picked the most expensive ones, figuring they were the most bang for the buck...

Also: is changing the fuses pretty easy? I see the one in back, but not sure where the other two reside...

Jose, thanks so much! Got them all installed. Last question: do you run
Balanced to your amp, or single ended? Trying to see if I have a preference...
