I can’t see them replenishing their stock of the Ultra Analog D20400 dac chip modules, as Ultra Analog Inc. hasn’t existed now for over 20 years.

Levinson 39 vs Bricasti M1
I got the Levinson bug recently and got a #39 processor/player. And a 38S pre. I’ve been using a CEC TL1 with the Bricasti for years. Great combo.
i was only planning on using the 39 as a transport. I got a great deal. Cheaper than the 37 (transport only).
Anyway, I was shocked that the 39, as a player, sounded nearly (and in some cases) identical to the Bricasti. I have A/B’d dozens of times and the 39 is so close that I’m considering selling the Bricasti and getting a 360s D/A. I can use my M2tech Evo for USB connectivity. I realize I won’t be able to play newer hi-rez formats but that’s not a priority for me.
Just wanted to share.
P.S. My Bricasti has the upgraded power supply but not latest firmaware.

A couple of days ago I wanted to compare digital cables from my ML 39 (as transport) to the Bricasti. First up, the Crystal Clear Audio XLR (don’t know which model but about $500 10 years ago. Great cable. Next was an old Tara Labs RSC Master Gen. 2. Ok. B-. Nordost Silver Shadow. Good but not nearly as good as the Crystal Clear. Then I remembered I had a Signal Cable RCA Silver Res. For laughs, I tried. Best of the bunch. 10 times less than the other cables. Ain’t audio fun! P. S. I’ve had a Nordost Valhalla in before. It was nice but not $2,000 nice. |
his is also a great one that’s cheap the way I bought it, QED Silver 75ohm digital, purple in colour and it can be bought off the roll so you put your own rca’s on. https://www.qed.co.uk/cables/hdmi-digital/reference-digital-audio.html#tab1 Cheers George |
