Lumin U1 vs Lumin U1 mini + sbooster?
@sfseay can you tell us what you heard from the Debussy vs Bricasti? 
If a speaker stand is mass-loading, how much does it matter what they're made of?
@hilde45 what price point are you looking at? Sound Anchors makes some fantastic stands that are prefilled with some sort of dampening material.

Bricasti DAC owners
Just curious is this issue occurring in units that have been upgraded or also new units? Also in which products is this being seen? M1? M3? M12? M21? 
Transparent audio
Years ago had very near top of the line Transparent cables with network boxes replaced them back then with Silent Source and wow so much cleaner. Sold all Transparent and never looked at brand again. 
What has been your costliest mistake in this hobby?
Getting into this crazy hobby which has cost many thousands of $$$$$ 
Phono Preamp. With transformer or fully active
@dover if the 22 tubed NVO has too many tubes you should hear the 13 tubed NVO. So very close 
Phono Preamp. With transformer or fully active
For what it's worth I heard a Zesto vs a NVO phono and the NVO was clearly the superior don't know why there's not much talk about NVO, several yrs ago it was much talked about even on these forums. 
Anyone using an external streamer with a Bricasti M12 or M21?
The M12 (doesn't mention the M21) is on the Roon Ready list, and Roon correctly puts its picture on my screen. Bricasti site is not updated too often.https://kb.roonlabs.com/Partner_Devices_Matrix  
Bricasti M3 In the house
@hgeifman just curious why you bought the M21 if you are using your intergrated? Isn’t the M21 like 16K? Wouldn’t it have been a better option to either get the Bricasti M1SE or M3? Curious minds would like to know and yes it’s been my experience ... 
Commercial streamer (bricasti m5 spotlighted) vs Raspberry Pi 4 implementation.
@essrand I own a Bricasti M1 but the M12 is my end goal. Bricasti says ethernet is superior to USB. Have you compared these options in your M12? Looking forward to your thoughts. 
Harbeth 30.1 or 40.1
@gte357s if there's nothing wrong with your current speaker/amp setup and you are basing your desire on a YouTube video I think you would be wasting your $$$" IMHO. Not only will you need a new amp but also different cables to best match. 
Bricasti Amplifier M25
@indranilsen enjoy. I've heard the same combo at a dealers shop and it was the best I've heard. He says part of the reason is you're using one less ac cord and one less interconnect, less is always better. Enjoy 
Best isolation platform for a turntable with suspension?
I used a wall mount many yrs ago just awful results. While playing music with bass just place your hands on the wall where your wall mount would be and "feel" the vibrations. Even if placed in studs did not help YMMV

@indranilsen any updates on your amp quest? Someday hope to own a Bricasti amp myself.
