ARE DCS Dacs worth the high cost?
@samgar2, The DCS Rossini DAC is only one piece of the entire audio system chain including the source, amplifiers, speakers, cables, power cords, the room and other things. The DCS Rossini DAC may sound great in one system and horrible in another.... 
ADD-Powr by Coherence Systems --- Power Conditioning Products
Several days ago, I installed the ElectraClear device in my main audio system.  I gave it an hour of time to adjust  and then removed it, listened and reinstalled it.  My friend said they substantially improved his sound quality.  An interesting t... 
possible power surge in my Mark Levinson Power Amp No. 332
Any updates on your possible power surge in your Mark Levinson Power Amp No. 332? 
Bricasti DAC owners
I also installed the Bricasti MDx upgrade board on my Bricasti M21. My system sounds clearer, smoother, more engaging with more musical details. I like it very much and also recommend the $1,000 MDx board upgrade.  
possible power surge in my Mark Levinson Power Amp No. 332
I suggest you ’unplug’ the unit from the wall plug for 2 minutes and turn it back on. I hope this works. You might also check the fuzes in the amplifier to see if they need replacing. I doubt the power outage damaged the amplifier. Please keep us ... 
Anyone using an external streamer with a Bricasti M12 or M21?
I use my Aurender N10 Music Server with my Bricasti M21 DAC. I listen to Qobuz Streaming for their outstanding sound quality. My stored CD albums also sound excellent. The Aurender Conductor App (free) is very easy to use. It is easy to switch bet... 
Blew a channel on my Bryston 3B
@ctor, I agree that since your amplifier is 35 years old, out of warranty and the Bryston price quote is $400++, I recommend you look for a new amplifier.   
Blew a channel on my Bryston 3B
I also lost the left channel on my 15+ year old Ayre AX-7e integrated amplifier.  I contacted AYRE for a return authorization # and immediately shipped the unit to them for repair.   Ayre repaired the amplifier and returned it at ZERO cost to me. ...

Bricasti M3 In the house
@ddafoe, Since your RaspberyPi with the S/PDIF output running Roon is sounding great, I seen no reason to replace it.  It is cost effective and is doing the job.   As you posted, your goal is to "try a few new things".  I encourage you to try the ... 
Bricasti M3 In the house
@ddafoe,  No.  My Bricasti M21 DAC is in my main audio system and the Bricasti M3 DAC is in my home theatre system that uses the LG OLED TV as the source.  My home theatre system was using the Ayre Codex DAC that I thought was excellent.  I then p... 
Bricasti M3 In the house
@rsf507, I like the Bricasti M21 DAC, including the MDx board upgrade, because it has the delta sigma and ladder DAC for PCM conversion. I like it fully differential design and its 'awesome' sound quality in my system.  Perviously, I owned the B...
