Review on Bricasti Design M3 DAC

I own the Bricasti M3 with the Ethernet option. Worth getting the Ethernet upgrade, at time of purchase so you don’t have to ship the M3 back for the upgrade. Very sweet sounding DAC.
You don’t need to connect it to Ethernet to use SPDIF, AES/EBU, or USB.

i use Roon on my iPad.  I have a Bricasti M5 streamer I’m selling since getting the M3 with the streamer option.  I have A/B tested the M3 streaming via Ethernet and the M5 streaming connected to the M3 USB port using Roon in group mode.  Couldn’t tell the streamers apart.

Just purchased the MDx board for my M3 and installed it myself.  Big improvement in soundstage, clarity, and air.

Total price was $720.00 shipped.  Swapping out the board was an easy process and took about 20 minutes.  

I understand that at some point in July the MDx board will increase in price to $1000.00.
