| Bricasti M3 vrs Meitner MA3 Forget the laptop. The Bricasti sounds much better using the Ethernet connection. It is very simple once you get it down. Your dealer will walk you thru the process. Hardwire the Bricasti. On your phone/tablet download Mconnect or any other UPNP... | |
| CD/ SACD advice needed Been thinking about the Geerfab. Most reviews just say that it works. Not much about SQ. most posts on Audiogon have been removed so anybody that owns one would you consider it a audiophile component? I sold an Oppo Modwright 105d and now just h... | |
| Bricasti M3 vrs Meitner MA3 Congrats on the Bricasti. Mconnect works well and sounds to me as good as Roon Great company to deal with as they pick up the phone. Spend a few bucks on a medium rated power chord. Audience Au24Se MP works well with the Bricasti. Good lu... | |
| Bricasti M3 vrs Meitner MA3 Are you running a preamp or integrated? No need for a remote if you are using a pre. If you are running straight to your amps than you will want a remote I have always ran with a pre. I took the Bricasti M3 to my buds last week and ran it directl... | |
| Bricasti M3 vrs Meitner MA3 I have a M3 and a retailer who sells both says it’s basically a toss up considering the rest of the system. The MA3 can play attached local files where the Bricasti can’t so that could eliminate the need for a Nas or server. That might be a big d... | |
| Time To Upgrade My Digital Front End As Mentioned maybe look at a used Bricasti M3 streaming Dac. 3500-4000 depending if you want a remote. Since you have the Coda pre probably no need for one. Get a real decent XLR cable to take advantage of the Bricasti/Coda’s balanced design. If... | |
| Aurender integrated streamer/DACs I had an A10 which is the predecessor to the A200. It’s not going to get much better. Aurender will always sound good and never fatiguing but will not get you the utmost in resolution or transparency. Send it back why you have a chance. I had the... | |
| Telos Mini Quantum Resonator (MQR) & Puron Filter together No trial period per Dan Ellis. Bummer | |
| IsoAcoustics Gaia Footers AND Townshend Seismic Podiums I have Combak Harmonica footers on top of my Podiums and it’s outstanding. Full disclosure is that I only had help for a short period of time and did not want to remove the spikes from the Persona 5F’s I have never tried them any other way. lit... | |
| Gold Note DS 10 DAC I had one for a trial before the external power supply was available. Nice sounding. Very similar to a Aurender A10 I had. Very listenable but doesn’t dig deep. If you are not real critical and want un fatiguing sound you may like it. | |
| Interconnects for Pass Labs X260.8 I run Iconoclast UPOCC Gen 2 from my M3 to A Coda CSiB integrated. It will run you 2k but they will pay shipping both ways with a 30 day trial. A big step above Audience SX which it replaced. You have to get 5 ft though as it is a stiff cable. The... | |
| Downsizing: Separates>Integrated --PSAudio>Pass Labs Coda CsIB is a pretty decent integrated. Can be configured up to the first 18 watts in class A. | |
| Added a LHY OCK 2 to EtherRegen > Bricasti chain Welcome to the forum. Yes I was looking for a possible upgrade to the Bricasti M3 as it is sounds real good but I don’t feel not the utmost in resolution and transparency. The LHY gives me all the additional positives that I was looking for. Text... | |
| Top two most important sound qualities Tone and transparency. I want to hear everything that is recorded. It’s amazing how much more info is in a recording as you move up the latter with your equipment and cabling. | |
| Why do almost all women today hate home audio? I have integrated YouTube pretty well into my system. The video portion holds everyone’s attention ( including many men) while still enjoying the system. It can turn into a dance party but who cares, enjoying the rig in a different way. |
