It is  Bricasti M1 - M5 - M12: Network Player - My REVIEW w/OEM Response Brian Zolner @ Bricasti
Hey Jafant - thanks

I had such a poor experience with my turntable experience (I had a bad cart) and a super nice person spent hours to help me install and set up and just went through hours wrestling with it until we learned my S1 cart was bad so I sold it all and focused on improving my digital and installed this great Bricasti M1 Network Player and upgraded my interconnects to Kubala-Sosna Emotion from Cardas Clear Reflection and the interconnect change made an incredible difference.

I thought the IC's would be an improvement and man are they are expensive which is why I waited so long to do it but it was a huge change. The IC change and Network player upgrade in combo took my rig to a total other level. I also bought a special purpose built mini - fanless pc that has a low power design with J1900 processor and SSD and run it all with premium linear power supply that helps a great deal.

My Magico's sing and my system is at the best it has ever been. I do think i will make another go at vinyl but I am going to start with a much simpler to use set up like a decent Rega or something. Those VPI wobbling arms are so hard for a vinyl newbie to work with.
