BRICASTI M3 DAC

Ah, got it.  Thanks.  I would only add the remote option, so total of $6,000.  What are you thoughts on the M3 having 2 filter options vs. the T+A having 4?

Most filter options are very subtle.

I own the Bricasti M1 and filter options are NOT subtle but with that being said once you find the filter option you like I very rarely change it.

Thanks for the feedback!

Wanted to share that I have the M3 in-house for review for the Stereo Times website.  

So far the M3 is offering a superlative rendition of any music I'm auditioning it with.  Besides, the unbelievable build quality that runs through all Bricasti equipment, the M3 is the first DAC that I have had in my system that offers the musicality of NOS DAC chips/ladder DACs with tube based analog conversion sections, plus the speed/overall dynamics and preciseness of Sigma Delta designs.  However, the M3 never sounds
analytical, but retains beautiful musicality and flow.
