| Power Regenerator or Conditioner for Digital Sources @kennymacc Would you mind further explaining that to laymen like me? | |
| Cardas vs Cardas vs Shunyata interconnects @audphile1 Yes, it is. Currently, I have a special version (all silver) of Kimber Kable's Silver Streak interconnect (which they custom-made for me), including WBT114AG connectors. I suspect that, with the clarity of the Bricasti M21 DAC, the Silv... | |
| Cardas vs Cardas vs Shunyata interconnects @w123ale It is now almost one year later. Have you kept the Cygnus cables between your DAC and preamp? (My digital sub-system has become so clear and detailed that is now “too much of a good thing”.) Currently, I use an all-silver interconnect cab... | |
| Roon Nucleus Titan Upgrade Offer The question you raised is the one I have had, too. For users, apparently, there aren’t any sonic benefits. | |
| Ethernet cables @atanarjuat99 I am now seriously considering an SoTM switch as a replacement for my current unmanaged Luxul switch. Are you satisfied with your SoTM switch? Were others under consideration? | |
| Ethernet cables I rarely respond to a poster whose raison d’etre appears to be to disparage others. That said, “CFR’s” snake oil obsession reminds me of someone who loudly and often proclaims it was impossible for humankind to have walked on the moon because he h... | |
| Ethernet cables I want to comment on jji666's really thoughtful post earlier this morning, in particular his mention of RFI and EMI "contamination" of the digital signal -- to which I wish to add "common-mode noise" as a further corrupting contributor to that sig... | |
| Use or sell/replace Oppo UDP-203? I have an Oppo 203, which I bought when this model was first released. I use it exclusively — as a transport — to play multi-channel SACDs and movies (4K and Blu-ray). For both audio and video, it does a superb job. Moreover, its flexibility in cu... | |
| Back to the DAC I thought I would provide my first week’s impressions as a new owner of Bricasti Design’s M19 SACD transport and M21 DAC. Let me initially talk about the M19 by itself. I connected it via a Kimber Orchid AES/EBU digital cable to my Theta Digital C... | |
| Playback Designs MPD6 or Bricasti M21? Yesterday, I received -- and installed -- my build-to-order M21 as well as Bricasti's M19 SACD transport. These two components replaced a Wadi 8 CD transport (which I may, or may not, sell), a Theta Digital Compli SACD player, a Wadia 2000 DAC, an... | |
| Is there anything other than a Benchmark DAC? At $10K (as a discounted price), i suggest considering the Bricasti M1 Series 2, the Lumin X1, the Meitner MA-3, and the Weiss 502. All of theae are of a different league than the ones youhave been thinking about up to now. | |
| From Rossini Apex to ???? I think that, ultimately, the choice is in the ears of the listener. However, the Bricasti M21 DAC is within the same price range (at $16K MSRP) as the two excellent DACs you have identified; it also is a splendid DAC. I recently listened extensi... | |
| Playback mpd 8 or dcs rossini apex? To complicate your life, please also consider the new Wadax Studio player (which does it all). | |
| Back to the DAC @tvad i am getting Bricast’s network renderer, which, I believe, is the single board version of their M5, installed in the M21. Hopefully, the combination of that and my Nucleus+ and the renderer will provide me with a streamer-like combination | |
| Back to the DAC Me, too! I ordered a Bricasti M21 DAC and M19 Transport. |
