| Speakers or Amplifier I recently added the Bricasti M1 DAC. The M1 improved bass output, dynamics, and soundstaging. I still believe I can improve the bass output, but would like opinions on the most feasible way forward. In general I don't like subs. In addition, I do... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC I've been playing the M1 for 4 straight days and I'm really enjoying my system. I don't know how the DSD compares to the M1 in an system that utilizes a preamp. In my case I use my DAC as a preamp/DAC and there is a very significant difference bet... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC As great as I believe the M1 is, there are no absolutes in audio. I love the the M1 because it meets my musical preferences, not because it's the best DAC. The M1 has completed my system and until I'm ready to upgrade my speakers, I'm officially o... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Fsmithjack,I've already sent you a PM, but I wanted to thank you again. Your comments, which because of the way audiophiles react to negative comments about products that most are praising(I'm guilty) deserve credit. I really appreciate your posti... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC I've always thought my source was my weak link in my system. Inserting the Bricasti M1 has changed that and now it's probably my speakers or even my new Jeff Rowland M525...the M1 is that good. I would be a fool to consider changing the M1 to any ... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Agisthos,I purchased the DS after receiving generous credit for my PS Audio Perfectwave DAC II and thought it was a worthy upgrade. I want to be careful not to exaggerate the differences between the DSD and M1, but I think it's valuable to the aud... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Day 2...the M1 is very, very different from the DSD. I submit it's analogous with hearing live music at a big venue compared to hearing music in a small intimate setting. Instruments/music through the M1 is significantly more natural sounding(inti... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Rdoc,I've only listened for 2 hours or so; therefore I agree it should open up. | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Coli,I use a Bryston BDP-2 connected via WireWorld Gold Starlight 7. | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC After one day of listening I submit the positives with the M1 compared to the DSD is the bass, dynamics, and not as forward sounding. What I'm disappointed about is the soundstage...in comparison to the DSD's soundstage, the M1's soundstage isn't ... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC I have it connected and my initial thoughts are I know I don't need a preamp. I don't know how much break-in will change the sound, but I'm :)! | |

| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Fsmithjack,I'm doing fine. I'm still nervously awaiting the arrival of my M1. I will have it at the beginning of next week. As you know, I don't have a preamp and decided to sell the DSD instead of purchasing a preamp. I hope the M1 is my answer a... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Fsmithjack,Is your M1 connected directly to your amp? If so, or if you have tried it direct, I would love to hear your thoughts? |
