Bricasti DAC owners

I’m not associated with Bricasti other than owning a Bricasti dac. 
If you own a Bricasti dac purchased before 2020, I strongly suggest considering obtaining the newest digital board, the MDx.

It’s that good. 
There certainly is nothing wrong with any prior BRICASTI digital board. Technology advances, particularly in digital, and the MDx is a worthy advance

Agree 100% — it is hard to imagine a DAC doing more to find that elusive sweet spot between detail and sounding just right.   The enhancement was immediately noticeable and unless my ears are plying tricks, it sounds even better again after some significant usage.

I just ordered the Bricasti V1.11 MDx Upgrade for my Bricasti M21 DAC. They shipped the firmware and instructions for how to install it.

The upgrade features are "In addition to the improved in performance that the MDx offers, there 2 new features in V1.11 for all products upgraded from early MDx versions: 

CLK Wide / Fine: On all products is the ability to change the Master clock sync from a fine very accurate setting to a more forgiving wide one, yielding a more relaxed sound and to allow for fine tuning of this change. Both settings yield very low jitter results. 

Filter 1: For the M3, M12 and M21 products, the addition of 2 new filters, one for each type linear and minimum phase. These filters are currently found in the M1 and were found to be customer favorites and we feel would be welcome addition to the current simple 2 filters approach in those products".

I received the new V1.11 MDx Upgrade for my Bricasti M21 DAC. SIM card from Bricasti, As per the enclosed instructions, I have to power down my Bricasti M21 DAC, remove the cover, insert the firmware chip into the unit and turn the power on. The instructions say inserting the chip needs to be done very carefully since there are no pins to guide it.

The DAC will be updated using the instructions in chip. When the upgrade is completed, the chip can be removed. A message will be displayed saying the upgrade is complete.

The instructions also said that some units cannot be updated meaning they have to be returned to the factory. I plan on doing the upgrade Saturday afternoon.
