Berkeley vs Bryston vs Lampizator
Bricasti is a killer DAC. I heard it in 2 system sbefore deciding to buy one for my system. No regrets. Best DAC I've ever heard, but I've not heard every DAC. One friend however sold his Bricasti in favor of a chord DAC

I've had exceptional and speedy service over the years from Bryston and Pass in addition to Bricasti. My Linn gear has never needed to be repaired, which is great too-  
DACs - what exactly do these things do?

Pass Labs upgrade?
XP-20 is the finest preamp I've ever owned. Prior to the XP-20 the best pre I ever owned was a CJ Premier 17LS2 
What Will Happen to Your Music Collection and Equipment When You.......
Once I buy the farm couldn't care less what happens to my gear and music. Most likely scenario is my kids will sell off everything and divide the $. If they do hope they throw a decent party afterwards on my dime.

How often is your system "good"?
My system is absolutely rocking tonight. Right now listening to hi Rez kind of blue. I think it's the only think I have in LP, CD and hi Rez.

It works!!!!!!!!!  Bricasti rocks!  Sent the M1 to Bricasti on Tuesday; it arrived on Wednesday and was repaired and shipped back on Wednesday. Got it this morning, just connected it all up and man oh man, it's 100%

I shipped my M1 yesterday and in record time, my M1 is now on its way back to me (helps that Bricasti is nearby). No hardware damage but the software was corrupted! The repair was to instal new (and latest) software. My M1 will be delivered tomorr...

My M1 in now en route to Bricasti- when I get a diagnosis I will update- this all is making me consider an Aurender player because somehow I think my M1 got zapped by my MacBook Pro 
Is it too bright or is it high resolution?
Bright is bright. It's not hi-rez. But detailed is a different matter.

I wound up speaking to Brian at Bricasti- called from work. He was already aware of my M1 issue. He suggested I ship the M1 to their factory. It's going out tomorrow-
