Latest Bricasti M1 who's heard?

davidz what network cable are you using between  the computer and the server or M12?

@davidz,  As you posted above, what does it mean the "Bricasti M12 falls in the category of a "DAC/pre?"  

Is there a problem using the Bricasti M12 as a line stage pre-amplifier?    Please explain.  Thanks. 

Hi --- I guess it's just terminology. A dac/pre to my understanding is no different from a linestage preamp that also serves as a DAC. The M1 has a digital volume control, but no analog inputs. The M12 has one set of analog RCA inputs, plus the standard digital inputs and uses an analog control for all of them. Hope that helps. -- David

Check this out ---- I haven't compared it to audiophile label CAT cable, but it was a big improvement over standard CAT cable, and a lot cheaper than the audiophile stuff. -- David

Good stuff - thanks Dave!
