| Bricasti M3 In the house You had a 380D too... that is funny. Yea, we all hear differently and like/emphasize different things in our listening. I've had a few folks tell me I should upgrade my streamer before I seriously compare my DACs or really hear what the M3 can ... | |
| Bricasti M3 In the house @hgeifman, did you ever compare the M3 to the M21 delta sigma? I thought I heard somewhere the M3 (with MDx) was pretty much the same as what is in the M21 delta sigma, but I don't know if that is true or not. I've heard the M21 ladder DAC soun... | |
| Commercial streamer (bricasti m5 spotlighted) vs Raspberry Pi 4 implementation. I've been using a pi3 as a Roon endpoint for a few years with zero issues. I use the https://www.hifiberry.com/shop/boards/hifiberry-dac-pro/ s/pdif output board along with an iFi iPower supply. It sounds great but I have not compared it to... | |
| Need Setup for SimAudio 700i V2 Amplifier bypass mode I just tried a Bricasti M3 direct into my Pass X250.8 last night, bypassing my SimAudio 740P preamp. I don't know how the analog output in the M3 compares to the M21 but one would assume there is some good similarity; the same goes for the 700v2... | |
| LTA Ultralinear vs Pass Labs XA25 @knik What type of music do you mostly listen to, and at what levels?i have D9s in an almost similar size room driven by a big Pass 250.8 (purchased for my previous less efficient speakers) and love the sound but have been tempted to get something... | |
| Bricasti M1 vs new M3 The M3 I just purchased was shipped from the factory Mar 2020 and the manual doesn't mention anything about MDx but if I select the version using the Status button it shows MDx 1.01. Just curious, those that have older M3s, what does the version... | |
| Bricasti M1 vs new M3 I have been using a SimAudio 380DSD DAC for the last few years and am happy with it (I preferred it over the Berkeley Alpha Dac 2 at the time of purchase). But, I've been tempted to upgrade and either a used M1SE or a M3 have been on my list. Af... | |
| Removing a ZERO from the price of amps Doug Schneider says:I found that the Eigentakt was not only powerful enough to drive the A1s -- it sounded as good as the Constellations. As I wrote in my review, “almost nothing about the A1s’ sound had changed -- the tonal balance was the same, ... | |
| Focal Aria 906 opinions? I replaced a pair of ELAC Uni-Fi UB5s with the 906s and am very happy with them. To my ears they offer a big improvement (as they should based on MSRP). At what the 906s tend to go for used, I think they offer excellent value. I drive them w... | |
| Bricasti Design M1 SE - W/ LAN Network Streamer - Version 1.51 V. Denafrips Terminator @dpac996, did you happen to compare the M3 with the M1SE?The M3 + LAN streamer looks to be priced similarly to what a used M1SE with the streamer installed goes for. I'm curious how the two compare sound wise...Cheers | |
| Spendor D7 vs. Harbeth Super HL5+ That's funny, you may have been in the same room with Art Dudley :)Checkout: https://www.stereophile.com/content/arts-saturday-morning-show He seemed to like the sound. The system overall had an impressive combination of clarity and beauty, ope... | |
| Spendor D7 vs. Harbeth Super HL5+ Certainly everyone has their own preferences; one person's bright can be another person's neutral, etc...My previous speakers were S series Magicos (beryllium tweeter) before purchasing the Spendors, and to my ears that tweeter provides another wh... | |
| Spendor D7 vs. Harbeth Super HL5+ The Spendor D series has been upgraded with the 7.2 and 9.2.From what I've read it sounds more like subtle tweaks than radical changes; has anyone heard the new series?I have the D9 and drive it with a Pass X250.8 and really like it.Before purchas... | |
| Finally took the Bryston 4B Cubed plunge I have a X250.8 and tried a 4B3 in my system for a few days to see if I could replace the big Pass to save some $$ and make my room less hot in the summer.I thought the Bryston had faster and tighter bass in my system. In the end I decided to ke... | |
| has anybody else noticed this about flac audio? I remember reading the "New Methods for Quantifying Sonic Performance" series in the Absolute Sound when it came out.e.g. http://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/viewpoint/0716/Why_Do_WAV_And_FLAC_Files_Sound_Different.htmAfter going through all of... |
