I’ve owned both DACs as well and preferred the Meitner in my system.
A kinder gentler system could benefit from the Bricasti while an edgier or brighter system might go better with the Meitner.
As always YMMV.
Bricasti M3 vrs Meitner MA3
Narrowing it down as we speak. Listen t R&R only, around mid 80's low 90's db. Stream qobuz via a Windows 10 based computer, (very satisfied) and Cd's. Have some nice equipment, to compliment the title pieces. Last minute post before dinner. If I've left anything out, I'm sorry. Hungry! Have a Meitner MA1 -V2 DAC in another system, and LOVE IT!!! This new piece for another system, Probably be my last DAC, getting older!!!!!! For the difference in the Money, of course the Meitner is more expensive. Does anyone have a suggestion or experience with both units???? I may add a streamer in the future, unknown at this time. Any help would be much appreciated. If anyone has another Dac in that price area that they have experience with, that likes Rock and Roll, please don't hesitate. Thanks, Robert TN
