In my experience the folks at Bricasti are first rate and go the extra mile to make it right. Couple years ago I had a problem with my M1 - I posted it hear in an effort to see if anyone could offer a solution I could try myself. Someone on this b...

I was able to do the flash update quickly and without issue

It’s which ever side the MDx board is on. Doesn’t apply to the M1 as it’s got a one piece top  
Analog or Digital and why?
I’ll take issue with one thing the OP said-  “A modest system can be an easy 20 grand”a modest vinyl front end is far less than $20,000. I’d argue that a pretty credible vinyl front end can be put together for $2,000

Show of hands- done the flash update?

The board comes with complete instructions, and there’s no note asking to return the flash board takes longer to unscrew the 10 screws, remove the lid, reset the lid and reinstall the 10 screws than it takes to do the update itself

The socket is inside the dac. It’s on the MDx board itself. Top cover must come off. Detailed instructions will accompany the flash board board being provided by Bricasti. Once the flash update is done the flash board is removed.

As I recall there have been Linn speakers that were supposed to be used against a wall  
Cana anyone recommend a plastic wrench that doesn'e scratch the metal?
I get that but just commenting that they really are that good  
Options for ridding records of static electricity
What single stereo item have I owned The longest and will never part with? My 35 year old zerostat. By the way- zapping a record before play 95% of the time results in no lifting of my felt mat 
Replacing driver screws with brass screws
I’m not changing my speaker screws. If Peter says it’s of no effect- I am 100% confident in what he says. In years on these boards there is in my opinion only one or two other people whose analysis and conclusions are consistently rock solid. Pete...
