Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
What about D-Link DGS-108, Linksys LGS105 , or Netgear Nighthawk S8000. Any suggestions

George I'm using the Netgear AC-1200 as a local router attached to the Netgear GS105 switch. I'm still having connection issue problems with high res and dsd. Are there better routers out there that may solve my problem. The switch was never set u...

First of all no tube amp that I know of can drive a speaker that presents a 2 ohm load in the bass and midrange area. They are not designed for this as you need current. I know I’ve tried many big tube amps including vacs and I still lose informat...

Gdhal I don’t know that’s why I’d like to hear the MSB in my system. My taste in music is mainly jazz (bebop, west coast, big band). I also love classical and blues (sonny terry and brownie, lightnin hopkins, johnny lee hooker).

I’m just saying Ethernet is a whole another ball game at least with the Bricasti.

I feel so confident in this dac that it would be interesting to see if MSB could actually beat it. I would hope so at 100,000.00. It would also have to be hooked up with Ethernet for a fair comparison.

Matt you have not heard the best in digital if using usb. I believe your dac uses usb. When you hear digital with Ethernet there is no comparison. The dac at least the Bricasti takes on an analog quality that has to be heard to be believed.

Both DACs were auditioned in only one system, my own. The same amp, speaker, preamp, and cables.

In my system I used the same ethernet cables to both dac's playing the same songs using the same computer. No changes were made except for two different dac's.

It’s funny how the reviewer thought the total dac had more detail. I totally found the opposite. Not only more detail but also much more open and much bigger soundstage beyond the speakers for the Bricasti. When I told the total dac owner about no...

Charles I agree with you, but let’s put it this way. Say the Bricasti best the MSB, well there has not been any highly rated RTR yet that I have heard to be king. There can only be so many  one can test , but this may possibly show I prefer delta ...

I played great Redbook and all sounded better on the Bricasti. If RTR is better it sure is not the total dac. I would love to hear the best MSB dac in my system and I could finally put this to rest. I loved MSB at shows but the 100,000.00 price is...

If the Bricasti was not used with Ethernet through it’s own internal board then no contest. Through usb it’s good but not great. I had the latest total dac and the Bricasti had way more dynamics. There was nothing about the total dac that was bett...
