| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC SabaiI have not heard the Yale yet. I'm sure its great as everyone seems to love it. I would def like to hear it sometime soon. | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC The Bricasti is a totally different animal... I think the way the PSA Directstream is set up for all these changes via downloaded software updates is very cool and it is brilliant from a consumer marketing standpoint.

| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC 07-20-15: ColiThanks for the response. Yes I agree the DirectStream or any DAC will yield much better results with an improved - cleaner incoming signal.

| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC 07-18-15: ColiHello,Interesting input and thanks for sharing. I switched from the DirectStream to Bricasti but I loved my DirectStream and I had to spend to a lot more money to better it. I had owned the Ayre QB-9 before it and really liked that D... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC If I have learned anything on this thread, and I have learned a lot its that the Transport is so very important to how the DAC performs. I have seen the performance of my Bricasti improve with every transport change / upgrade / tweak I have made. ... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC RicevsI am sure you could make the Bricasti sound more toward your liking but " making it way, way better" I am not buying it.There is a lot more going on at this level of product than just throwing some top shelf parts at it. I guarantee that! Tw... |
