Thanks for that info! admittedly, I have not had the chance to try any of the Bricasti offerings. there is a dealer local to me, but they only have the M3 in store, and they do not allow for home demos. they did invite me down for a listen, but I have not taken up the offer as I do find it hard to evaluate a dac when it is in a whole other system. hence, for this instance I have to rely on stuff I read/user reviews and advice/comparisons on forums etc.
tbh Im not unhappy with any of my dacs. perhaps just to scratch an itch, as I’ve always been curious about Bricasti (as well as the Weiss dac502).
