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.

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.

Review on Bricasti Design M3 DAC

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?
Qobuz is a music streaming service that runs on your music server. My Aurender supports Tidal and Qobuz. With Qobuz, you search for an album and, once found, you can make it your favorite for future playing. Qobuz allows you to build your own play... 
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 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...
