Bricasti M3 In the house
It was not easy, but I finally placed my SimAudio 700i integrated amp in bypass mode. It was not an easy process. I am using the volume control on the Bricasti M21 DAC to control the volume. The sound is good but NOT light-years better than using ... 
Review on Bricasti Design M3 DAC
@sfseay, I asked Bricasti if they wanted the old board returned.  They said yes so I shipped it to them.

Review on Bricasti Design M3 DAC
I had someone help me install the MDx board in my Bricasti M21 DAC and it is working perfectly. It was an easy install and took about 30 minutes. After the install, we tested the M21 DAC using his equipment (Bricasti M28 power amplifiers). My M21 ...

Bricasti M3 In the house
I also ordered the MDx board for my Bricasti M21 DAC, they emailed me the invoice and I paid using Zelle. They received the funds in 3 seconds. The technology works. The MDx board is expected next week (I hope). And, yes, I asked Bricasti to confi...

Another friend installed the MDx upgrade in her Bricasti M21 DAC. She sent me the instructions from Bricasti and walked me thru the process. It takes about 30 minutes and is not complicated (maybe). I ordered the MDx board and will install it. She...

Replace Ayre Codex with QB-9 DSD?
@dbphd, Any news on adjusting the Roon volume level mentioned above?  Let us start over, again. My assumption is the problem is NOT the Codex DAC (gut feeling).  Any chance of borrowing another DAC from a friend and see what happens? This test wil... 
What's the best non-DAC streamer?
As you can see from above many posts, the selection of a music server is NOT an easy decision or process. It seems, everyone has a DIFFERENT server recommendation. I suggest you make a list of the important features your music server needs and you... 
Replace Ayre Codex with QB-9 DSD?
