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...

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? 
Lampizator question
How can you praise the Bricasti M1, while trying to trade it for a Lampi DAC? If that really happened...all I can say is "WOW"! 
Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
I know it's crazy but the more I read the reviews, the more I feel I'm going to be let down by the Bricasti M1. Yes, I've had the opportunity to listen to the M1; however not in my own system. The fear isn't that it won't sound good, but that it i... 
Why so many PS Audio DirectStreams for sale?
I sold mine to go to a more expensive DAC. I submit the DSD is great and you need to spend a lot more money to improve what it does. New they are a good deal, but at the current used priced they are an outstanding deal. 
Parasound halo JC2 what a joke
I've owned two different A21s and neither one of them ever got hot. They were on 24 hours a day and they were warm to the touch.

If the Bricasti M1 is half as good as the hype, I'll be very happy and it will be my last purchase for several years.

Bill,Thanks for the info and you are correct, the only way to know is to try it. I have decided to sell my DSD and purchase a M1.

RunninDon't get me wrong, I submit that Parasound offers outstanding value 
Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
I'm guilty! I'm the one who reached out to Fsmithjack regarding the Bricasti M1. I'm currently using my DSD connected directly to my amplifier. I had a Parasound JC2 preamp, but I thought the DSD direct was more transparent and sold the JC2. In hi... 
Parasound halo JC2 what a joke
Runnin,"If one can spend $10-15,000 on amps, more power to you. Recently in another forum a Parasound owner said he's upgrading to some super expensive brand because "after a while, you just want to move on to something better". Good for him, but ...

I moved the bass traps out of the room, put them stacked back in the corner, put two behind the listening position, with two in the front corners and after a whole day of listening decided that one in each front corner and two behind the listening...

Almarg,I just want to reiterate how much you have helped. Simply moving bass traps solved my problem, that many people would simply blame on the electronics. You have indeed saved me from spending money on another JR 525 or a new preamp. I'm still...
