| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC I have an Bryston BDP-2 connected to my M1 DAC. I love the convenience, but I never had the opportunity to compare it to other transports. | |
| "Warm Sounding" Solid State Amplifiers My friend has access to several companies and really likes the NAD Masters series | |
| "Warm Sounding" Solid State Amplifiers I've compared the JR M525 to an Ayre VX-5 and purchased the JR 525. To my ears, in my system the JR M525 has a better soundstage and separation of instruments. I had many amps and the JR M525 is the best that I've ever had in my system. As a matte... | |
| Speakers or Amplifier Drubin,No need to be sad, but a sincere thanks for your concern. I've had my Aerials for over one year. Yes, I just received a new DAC and have only had my amplifier for two months. I love advice and that's why I post questions on Audiogon. I look... | |
| Speakers or Amplifier G.,You are correct, I only have approximately 150 hours on the DAC and around 300 or so hours on the JR M525. Onhwy61,I've never been able to integrate a subwoofer, but I have someone that's going to let me try a F112 in my system. I would only re... | |
| Speakers or Amplifier Thanks to everyone for their input. I have confirmed that I can connect subs through my M1 DAC and will be ordering a JL Audio F112. If I feel it integrates well, I will order another one. | |
| Speakers or Amplifier Brauser,In general I don't like subwoofers, but I did send an email to Bricasti to find out if I could connect a JL F112 subwoofer through my M1 DAC.Theo,I've tried several speaker cables(Transparent, Cardas, Shunyata)and thought the WireWorld Sil... | |
| Speakers or Amplifier Stringreen,I would love to have more bass...not just feel it, but hear it. I currently have them 48" from the front wall. I love the openness, imaging, soundstaging(depth and width), mids and highs are wonderful. I'm hesitant to move them closer t... | |
| 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... |
