DAC for Bricasti Design M5 Network Player

Yea, it had a Mar 2020 ship date.  I considered it, but I was told it is $1500 if you don’t have it, so the $1000 seems to be when buying new.  That is my fault for not realizing the difference when I purchased it without the streamer.   Since I found the M3 to be just a little better than my 5 yr old SimAudio DAC I didn’t want to risk the extra $1500 not knowing what the improvement would be like.  
I was thinking spending $1500 on a used M5 might also bump the performance of my previous DAC up as well, keeping the delta about the same.

Anyhow, both the Sim and Bricasti DACs have been sold and I’ll stick with the RME for now.   I’m not sure where to go from here but may just pocket the change and enjoy the RME until something else catches my eye.    I’m driving distance to a Bricasti dealer so if I get a chance to hear the M3 with the streamer vs my spdif RME setup and it blows me away, I could jump back in.   The RME fits in my hand so it will be easy to bring it along to a dealer for comparisons :)

No luck finding a used or demo Bricasti M3. Called Fidelity Premium, Extreme Fidelity, Audio Archon, Divinci Media, Sounds of Silence. And the wait for a new one is several weeks. So, still looking for DAC recommendations for my Bricasti M5 renderer. Any thoughts would be appreciated

Haven't heard this one but getting some good reviews. The Gold Note DS10

Something to check out. If you do get to hear one please let us know your thoughts.

I ordered an M3 from Mike Kay at Audio Archon. Mike took my M5 in on trade and gave me the best price he could. I was surprised no forum member mentioned a DAC that was preferred to the M3.That tells me that the M3 is the way to go. Had to hit the retirement account and went over budget but who wants to retire anyway. Many thanks to everyone who commented and helped prevent me from making an expensive mistake.

Planning to get the m5.  Is a chord tt2 a good companion?  Saw m5 specs saying sampling rate up to 192 for m5, but tt2 clearly can go a lot higher.  Is this limiting factor??
