| Sound Quality @navyachts I’ll let @audphile1 answer the question as to whether DSD sounds better on the Bricasti or not, but looking at the specs these are your options: Digital Inputs XLR: AES/EBU 24 bit Single Wire, BNC: SPDIF, RCA: SPDIF, Optica... | |
| Sound Quality there really isn't the need to rip CDs, I guess. That is unless you have something rare that can't be found online. Any other benefits you can muster? @navyachts that is pretty much my philosophy. The onboard hardrive is not just for ripped CD... | |
| Back to the DAC Honestly though, I didn't ever think I would be springing for a DAC that cost more than my amp & pre-amp combined. I will always remember what my Linn dealer said 20+ years ago: $5000 sources with $500 amplifiers always sounded better than... | |
| Back to the DAC this DAC has sucked me dry Wow, that must be quite the DAC. | |
| Best DAC’S $5k to $15k @axeis1 there is something else you could investigate and do before changing out your DAC also, If you weren't aware of this already: PGGB I have posts by some with Dave who love it, which is the DAC this software was written for; I'm sure it woul... | |
| Ethernet cable for music streaming Forgot to mention another thing to try would be to get a Wi-Fi extender or Mesh system.... I need to try this. I have read this a few times over the past while. About a year ago I removed the router from my hi fi room to eliminate unnecessary... | |

| Back to the DAC @navyachts looking forward to your Gustard/Bricasti comparisons. 🎶 | |
| Ethernet Cables - what are you using and why? .... including the Cardas ethernet cable which for $300 was not bad but not in the same league as the Shunyata and this is in no way to say anything negative about the Cardas cable. 😉 | |
| Back to the DAC @worldwidewholesales Great post with great advice-and it is commendable you didn’t give any specific manufacturer’s names. There is a good chance I will never in my life listen to 10% of the components you have, I am curious if you could share ... | |
| Best DAC’S $5k to $15k I think I’d like to listen to the Mola Mola @axeis1 I don't think you could go wrong here The world needs a new DAC shoot-out! As many in this thread have alluded to, at this level it is about synergy and particular sonic preferences. ... | |
| Best DAC’S $5k to $15k Try the Ideon EOS or the ION you will be shocked I really love this comment from Lavornga in his review of this DAC: I bet some people are wondering exactly which DAC from ESS is inside the EOS and I’m not saying because it doesn’t matter ... | |
| Grimm MU2 Experience There is another forum that starts with audio and ends with style that has an extensive thread on the Grimm. |
