Passive preamp
I did try using the Bricasti M3 as my preamp, and DAC and it worked a beautifully. The sound and dynamic range is really nice, don't have the remote control though.   Then I put my Freya S back in line running passive, and to tell you the truth, I...

Excellent idea to try the M3 as the pre going directly to my amp.  I would at least have something to compare against the passive pre. Unfortunately, I do have more than the one source (turntable and other) otherwise I would stay with the M3.  Hap...

Yes, had seen those too when seaching.  thx     
How many of you are digital only systems?
Kind of amazed and pleased at the positive response to digital.  I‘m now 95% digital, hi-res. (A stroke a couple of years ago made this a necessity.)  having many of my albums also in high res I really don't hear a difference in a/b testing, pos... 
Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK?
Three words.  Creek Evolution 100AAfter dumping some mid-level separates the Creek has been a very refreshing upgrade and simplification!  Along with its Phono and Ruby DAC/Bluetooth/FM radio modules the sound is terrific paired with Totem Sky Tow...
