Power cord for Bricasti M3
Pretty sure the filters are just for PCM  conversion as the manual states   When selecting NDSD DSD setting, the DSD post noise filtering is done in the analog domain so there are no DSD filter settings. An artifact of DSD processing is the buil... 
Power cord for Bricasti M3
So mine is running strictly thru Ethernet. It seems I may be upconverting  red book as using the DSD filter. Just sounds much more open and transparent than the PCM with either filter.   
Power cord for Bricasti M3
While on cables, I bit the bullet on a 5ft  Iconoclast  4x4  UPOCCC XLR for the Bricasti M3 . Crazy money but worth every penny and the only interconnect in my system so I figured what the heck. If you audition try a 5ft pair. I tried a 3 ft pair ... 
Mconnect and Bricasti
You definitely want the Network card installed. Sounds much better in my system than the USB with a few caveats:.  The network card has the added benefit of  Melco's ethernet filtering and an Uptone EtherRegen w/LPS upstream . SoTM cabling on the ... 
Melco dealers or owners
Thanks for the replies and  a special thanks to Jazzman7   Stu took time with me and walked me thru so I am now streaming Melco files thru  Ethernet into the Bricasti M3 w/ network card.using Roon. So much better than USB and taking advantage of... 
Melco dealers or owners
Yes I have been thru it a few times.  I can stream Qobuz and files thru USB with no problem No luck thru the Ethernet set up even though I can stream Qobuz controlled by Roon to the Bricasti thru the Melco where the Melco is basically a switch   ... 
Aurender n100h fuse removal
They are in the IEC where the power cord plugs in. You will find 2 in there but I believe only 1 is worth upgrading. Always upgraded my Aurender with SR latest put always found that upgrade to be the last in improvement. Power amp and Pre made a m... 
Power Cord Recommendations for Bricasti M3
There is thread on this very topic already   Quite a few thumbs up for the Audience AU 24SE. I like mine very much  
Receiving my Townshend Audio Podiums Monday. How to?
Just wondered if you got your Podiums set up?  
Bricasti M3 w/network card vs USB
Thanks for the great info.  Not sure what to do. I have all these great DSD files And no way of getting them to the Bricasti . I am looking at a Melco N100 for 2k which will do the trick or maybe spend a couple of grand on improving my streaming s... 
From separate streamer and DAC to al-in-one suggestion
I have had both the Cary 600 and 700. Jack of all trades. But if you just basically just stream the Bricasti M3 w/ network card is a nice step up. They can be found used for 4,000-4,500.   
Oppo service
Yep sent in my 103 a couple mos back for a power issue. Flat fee and I think that included return shipping. Still a great co.  
My last Integrated Amp: $5-10,000?
Have a month on my Coda Csib. The most affordable new amp among your choices. With the money saved you can buy a pair of Townshend Fractal F1 speaker cables. You will be all set.     
Power Cord for DAC
+1 on the Audience Au 24SE. I have the MP ( medium power) version and sounds great on my Bricasti M3. Replaced a Triode Wire Labs.  Seems like the SE model is kinda of a sweet spot for value and performance   Still not cheap on the used market but... 
Bricasti M3 In the house
Enjoying the M3 w/network card .  Will the Melco n100 push DSD local files over the network to the Bricasti ? Trying yo avoid USB. Any other suggestions around the +- 2k figure. Just upgraded my speaker cabling to Townshend Fractal F1. The Bricas...
