Bricasti Model 1 Series II DAC

This DAC seems pretty interesting from both an analogue as well as digital conversion point of view:

I currently own a highly modded DirectStream MKI DAC, but this DAC I really want.... MSRP is around $12K....

Any opinions on this DAC?

The M3 is a completely different chassis, PS, etc…. I do not believe that there would be a standard upgrade directly with Bricasti as it is a totally different model and footprint. They did not offer an M3 to M1 upgrade for example. You could trade the DAC to a Bricasti dealer that takes trades but it will much more expensive than the typical $2500 upgrade.

Was a very straightforward process and Bricasti was extremely helpfull. I documented it here: Bricasti M12 – Hauptsache es klingt ! (apfelbeck.at)
