Bricasti M3 w/network card vs USB


Hey Gang,

Really enjoying the M3. Currently just using for streaming Tidal and Qobuz and playing files via coax from an Oppo 103

I am looking to add a server/nas to play 6 tb of DSD and Hi Rez/flac/wav files. 
I would really just like to stay with using the network input and avoid USB unless the crew can tell me USB sounds better.  Has anybody compared the network input vs USB?

Any input would be appreciated. 
 

Thanks,

Russ

I have had the M3 for a couple of years and have used both inputs.  The network input is noticeably better. Bricasti also recommends the network input over USB. I forget their reasoning, but I am sure they would be happy to share if you give them a call.

WE are a bricasti dealer and a server dealer

 

the usb sounds better if you are using a good dedicated server

 

the issue is the quality of the USB setup a laptop or generic pc wont sound better

 

our 432Evo servers use a dedicated and isolated USB card which is electrically separated from the CPU

 

on our bricastis this improves upon the network connection

we sell the servers with a two week money back trial

 

please contact the shop for more info

audiotroy so let me get this straight. I was in your room at Axpona this yr and asked about the 432Evo and I told you I was using a Bricasti M3 and you told me to my face the 432 would destroy the Bricasti. So why do you sell Bricasti?

^ Um what? so without the Evo front end the Bricasti is no good?  How about my Melco N1Z feeding the Bicasti by Ethernet? Also no good?
