macdude, it’s still six grand for the U1. If you already own one then great but for me, spending that kind of money should come with the peace of mind that I’ll be content for the next ten years.
From reading around, it seems that Bricasti owners have compared their M5 to other transport/streamers and claim that for around 2,000.00, it’s a better option.
Maybe I’ll start saving for the M5 and hopefully by the time I’m ready to make a purchase, Bricasti will have made more improvements.
I can say however that my stereo sounds very good given the quality of the recording I’m playing. Great recordings sound great and mediocre recording’s sound mediocre. The idea of making an average recording into a great sounding recording is for me, a fool’s errand.
With my Ayre DAC, I am using the Uptone Audio reclocker with the linear power supply. And, I added an xlr Akiko tuning stick as well as a Synergistic Blue fuse and I found nothing objectionable about them. Sure there is always something better and I don’t object to improvements but I don’t want to spend more than I have to.
