+1, Bricasti DAC. I own the Bricasti M21 DAC and like it very much. The Bricasti M21 DAC is recognized as a DNLA device and becomes a powerful media renderer. My M21 DAC is connected to the Internet and gets the signal from my Apple M2 chip Laptop 12-Core CPU 19-Core GPU 16GB using an Ethernet cable.
As was posted above, a MSB DAC solution means multiple boxes, Box #1 is the DAC, box #2 is the power supply (power base) and box #3 is the Director. The Director is a recently announced model and moves all the input and output connections to the Director.
”The Digital Director enhances essential DAC functions, externally manages digital audio sources, provides unmatched noise isolation and digital filtering. Using our proprietary ProISL laser fiber optic connection, the Digital Director eliminates noise coupling into the DAC from any digital source. Increased processing power ensures our digital filtering algorithms achieve a new level of realistic and accurate analog reproduction. The Digital Director levels up the performance of all digital audio”. List price is $14,000 and higher for certain models.
