Bricasti MDX upgrade

I have a Bricasti M3 DAC with the 1.08 MDX board.  I see they have come up with an upgraded MDX board ( now 1.09 ).  I believe its a hardware upgrade at a significant cost rather than a downloadable firmware upgrade.

Has anyone upgraded their DAC?

Is there an audible difference?  If so, in what way?

And last, is it worth the cost?

@hgeifman are you able to hear a difference between fine and wide clock settings? I haven’t done the comparison yet on my M3.

audphile1, I switched back and forth between the 2 settings. I thought the wide setting sounded better (Wide / Fine). I suggest you do the same comparison.

I thought the wide setting was more natural and Musical. Hope thus helps.

Cool. I’ll compare. Been using Wide this whole time and never bothered since it sounds pretty awesome.

Did a brief comparison and I think the Fine setting results in a slightly more focused presentation. It is very close though. I left it in Fine for few days to get used to it. Will switch back to Wide soon.
