Review on Bricasti Design M3 DAC

I had someone help me install the MDx board in my Bricasti M21 DAC and it is working perfectly. It was an easy install and took about 30 minutes. After the install, we tested the M21 DAC using his equipment (Bricasti M28 power amplifiers). My M21 worked perfectly. The status display also shows MDx.

My M21 DAC is now playing in my system. I need to give it time to break-in but it does sound clearer, smoother with more musical details. I like it very much.

I agree with @zavato above that the MDx board upgrade is a great choice for the Bricasti M1, M3 and M21 DAC’s.

@zavato | I didn’t have to return my old board after installing the new MDx board.  Guess I have a spare part now!

@sfseay, I asked Bricasti if they wanted the old board returned.  They said yes so I shipped it to them.   

Maybe it depends on which old board you have or if maybe they have figured a way to recycle the old board and make a few $

i have no problem sending my old board back. 
I find Bricasti a very good company to deal with. Any issues or questions always resolved or answered by either Joe or Brian 

other companies that are easy and great to deal with in my experience is pass, Bryston and McIntosh. 
Some companies are slow and one i dealt with was definitely on the nasty side. I won’t mention who- 

All the latest M3  have Roon available via your music server or computer 
through a Melco  N10 ,or iinnous zenith , the sound is noticeably better.
