Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
My DSD is causing hick ups again. I'm going to have to contact Bricasti Monday and see if they can help. I tried connecting back to just the router and although everything works the sound is just not nearly as good.

I think you don’t know what your talking about. Delta sigma beat discrete how could that be if information is missing?

Does it matter where I splice in on the negative of the dc of my sbooster? Near the tip of the connector or anywhere along the length of the cable?

Steve N why can’t I just place a cheater plug on my LPS for the grounding? If you ground the LPS to the router do you also have to ground the LPS to the switch as well?

Wig your Marantz would not be my choice for transport if used with dacs. I would suggest a PS Audio Memory Player as it is way more transparent than your cd player. I bet you would have liked those dacs more if you had this transport.

I have Sbooster linear power supplies on the router and the switch. May be over kill, but what the hell. I can replace the fuses in both power supplies to see if that changes anything as well.

I added the Netgear Switch to my system. Ethernet from my PC connects to my Netgear AC-1200 local wireless router. The router connects to the new switch and then from the switch to the Bricasti. I will say the sound is more relaxed, more open or t...

I assume both have the same specs. OK this is going to cost some money because now I have to order another regulated power supply that costs about 300.00.

Al I’m using cat 6 from my pc to the router which acts as a local network as it is not attached to the internet. Cat 6 then goes  from the router to the internal M5 board of the bricasti. Which then converts and reclocks the signal via I2S to the ...

Fsmithjack, what I meant to say is the following. Ethernet out of pc into local wireless router. Ethernet out of router into the M5 internal board of the bricasti to reclock and convert via i2s to the dac. Your telling me this switch cleans up the...
