What DAC upgrade made you say “DAMN, that sounds SO MUCH better than my last DAC”?

My uncle works in digital mastering  studios around the world and he spoke very highly of Bricasti being the best he has encountered ,not just in accuracy 
but in but as a whole in separating each instrument  and bringing out the best 
in tonal shadings and even variances in pitch to hear as a whole it was just on another level ,that was the Bricasti M1-SE that being said he said their new
M3 with streamer card is not far behind at1/2 the cost he was spot on .
I bought it with a trade in with on audition from Perrotta consultants on the east coast very fair pricing and nice package deal with cables . After having heard Denafrips terminator side by side and Audiobytes with separate power supply 
they were very good But just did not present this level of realism especially after the long burnin around400 hours, and filter put in minimum mode.at $6500 with streamer card Roon ready a true high end bargain ,and built superb all CNC ,and  fully balanced and use in dual mono mode using the classic  AD 1955 Multibit dac chips their-separate  patented 1bit DSD ,and true Analog preamplifier which is exceptional if you want to run direct to amp, or just set to  -0 to fully bypass great engineering 👍

Hi All,

I was using both a Theta ProBasic III and a Soekris 1421. I purchased a used Mojo Audio Mystique V3 on Audiogon and, after six weeks listening to it, decided it is simply superior. Better depth of soundstage, more detail without any harshness, deeper bass, and a better weight to the sound. It has woken up my Thiel CS5i's.

The Mystique is so much better that I convinced myself to put in an order with Ben for a Mystique EVO B4B. This from a person who almost exclusively purchases used gear....

Thanks for listening,

Dsper

ivan_nosnibor I was wondering what you were using as a source for your Burl B2 Bomber DAC and which input you were using…also do you know if all their DACs are rack mount?

I like the Wyred4Sound 10th Anniversary!

just so i am properly following you, you compared a $5500/7500 mojo mystique v3 (rca/xlr) to a $875 soekris 1421 and were wow’ed by the sq delta... declaring confidently that a is better than b...

(i have the soekris in a second system, it is a sweet little r2r nos dac, with pre volume adjust and headphone capability too)

am i missing something here?
