Power cord for Bricasti M3


Any suggestions from Bricasti users for a nice power cord to compliment the Bricasti M3.  Price range circa 1000 dollars.

Thanks

I noticed a bump going from a Triode Wire Labs digital to an Audience AU 24 Se MP. 
 

Just went with the top of the line Iconoclast XLR with the Bricasti M3. Will let it settle a bit before commenting. Early returns are favorable 

While on cables, I bit the bullet on a 5ft  Iconoclast  4x4  UPOCCC XLR for the Bricasti M3 . Crazy money but worth every penny and the only interconnect in my system so I figured what the heck. If you audition try a 5ft pair. I tried a 3 ft pair of the same cable and could not get the same sound. Sent it back for the 5ft demo and all was well again. They send out their demos as 5fts so that must be the perfect length for the cable. Its a very stiff cable so you may need a little extra length anyways.   

They have a no quabble money back( they even pick up return shipping as I sent back their top of the line speaker cables) Excellent company to work with.

This will get the best out of your Bricasti. The XLR's are said to sound a bit better than the Single ended outputs. I know it made a huge difference in my rig.

 

 

 

So mine is running strictly thru Ethernet. It seems I may be upconverting  red book as using the DSD filter. Just sounds much more open and transparent than the PCM with either filter. 

Pretty sure the filters are just for PCM  conversion as the manual states

 

When selecting NDSD DSD setting, the DSD post noise filtering is done in the analog domain so there are no DSD filter settings. An artifact of DSD processing is the buildup of ultrasonic noise and with DSD 64; this noise starts at 24 kHz and rises to peak level at -50 dB at 50k and beyond. In the M3 set to NDSD DSD this filter is implemented with a simple low order low pass analog filter for the very best sonic performance

Sorry. I play everything NDSD DSD.  So I guess it is upconverting flac and wav files. 
with no remote I am not getting up to change setting for different file types.  NDSD DSD just seems to work
