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... 
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.    
Need Setup for SimAudio 700i V2 Amplifier bypass mode
It was not easy, but I finally placed my SimAudio 70i 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 the preamp. ... 
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 ...

What's the best non-DAC streamer?
@firberger, Thanks. The most important capability for a music server/streamer is its sound quality in your system. The best case is to borrow the unit and use it in your system, if possible.I also agree with @rockenator that the App controlling th... 
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... 
Bricasti M1 vs new M3
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...

@dbphd, Several years ago, I also had no sound coming from my Ayre QB-9 DAC.  I returned it to my retailer who confirmed the QB-9 DAC was not working.  The unit was sent to Ayre for repairs.  Please call Ayre Acoustics for advice.  You probably ar...
