Bricasti Model 1 Series II DAC


This DAC seems pretty interesting from both an analogue as well as digital conversion point of view:

I currently own a highly modded DirectStream MKI DAC, but this DAC I really want.... MSRP is around $12K....

Any opinions on this DAC?

I upgraded my M1 se to and series 2 and have about 100 hours on it so far.  First impressions compared to M1 se - sound stage is deeper, increase in detail maybe just darker between instruments and bass is not as pronounced.  All in all very happy with the upgrade.  It will be interesting what changes next few hundred hours.  
 

By the way; Bricasti is a great company to work with.  Build quality is excellent and network (streamer / renderer) card is excellent.   
 

I moved from an PS Audio and the Bricasti added “life” to the music.  

I received My Bricasti M1 Series II a few weeks ago. I'm building a dedicated room so cannot wait to listen to it. 

They had to use a larger chassis in the Series II as they needed more real estate to fit their new design in. 

I was told they will be releasing a new transport in late spring/early summer to mate with it. 

 

Thanks for all the information on the SQ experiences with the Bricasti.... I am still saving to have enough cash (life is expensive these days....).

we are a bricasti dealer the m1 se is an excellent dac superb buid quality and upgradable platform

Well this was a quiet release. Thanks to this thread, I am now aware the M1 has been updated past the somewhat recent MDx board upgrade option. 
I look forward to reading more details about the Series II sonic qualities.
