| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC I'm one of the original Bricasti M1 owners and one of their main guinea pigs.Enjoy your new M1. Its an amazing DAC. It will break in fairly quickly. Just send signal through it for a week and you should be good. The key to maximizing the sound qua... | |
| Bricasti M1 USB DSD has a very distinct sound (to my ears at least). Notes are rounder. Perhaps you can characterize it as more analogue sounding than PCM. Its probably not the ultimate in detail compared to hi-res PCM but its something that is just really pleasa... | |
| Bricasti M1 USB Still madly in love with the M1. Been listening to DSD quite a bit lately. | |
| Indukti S.U.S.A.R. 180g vinyl at Newport Audioshow Would love to hear it and offer it to our customers. | |
| Bricasti M1 USB Neither did I!! :D | |
| Bricasti M1 USB First thing you have to do with the M1 is replace the switching power supply with the new linear one. The upgrade was transformative. Any hint of glare that it had before was completely removed.I subsequently replaced the fuses with Hi-Fi Supreme.... | |

| Bricasti M1 - where is the music Sirotseta:I've only heard the Berkeley DAC on a very limited basis at Goodwin's so I can't comment on it. I'm sure its reputation exists for a reason and the new version is even better. You raised the issue of PRAT. CDs are our business. I operate... | |
| Bricasti M1 - where is the music Filters have been added. The sequence has changed a bit. Don't go by what a reviewer used. You need to spend time with the M1 and experiment with it in your system.For example, I found that I preferred a different filter for hi rez to the one I se... | |
| Bricasti M1 - where is the music I've been using the M1 in our reference system since August. It is a replacement to the Accustic Arts DAC1 Mk. IV. IMO, its not the type of DAC that you can spend a little bit of time with in a showroom. The filter settings sound radically differe... | |
| The Ultimate DAC for Approx $10,000 I agree about the Bricasti M1. Its extraordinary. | |
| Ortofon A-90 Tonality Question I spent two evenings comparing 47 and 100 ohms impedance settings on my ASR Basis Exclusiv. I even enlisted a second pair of ears. We agreed that 47 ohms was clearly and constantly preferred to 100 ohms. At 100 ohms everything sounded washed out, ... | |
| Ortofon A-90 Tonality Question Jarrett:I agree with the other comments. This cartridge needs time to break in. You need to put more hours on it.What impedance setting are you using? Ken G olden | |
| Is my room doomed? Pic Enzo:I'm waiting for the delivery of my own pair of Aquila. I noticed in photos of various systems on Audiogon that there is no consistent pattern as to how people set up their RT speakers with side firing woofers.I asked Andy Payor about this and... |
