Bricasti M3 In the house
@sfseay that's great it was so easy! Mine came with the MDX hardware so it's the only starting point I have experience with; The dealer stated M3 with the MDX digital board surpassed the M1 w/o the MDX; Now maybe someday I might try the latest M1,...

Why does a Music Server require high processing CPU power?
@jbhiller absolutely! Roon ROCK has been incredible. 100% stable no variation in SQ, no performance issues, lagless UI experience; best of all, the SQ is crystalline pure. I now never use the MConnect/UPnP option on my ethernet DAC; Roon is fantas...

Review on Bricasti Design M3 DAC
you don’t need Roon to enjoy the M3; if u get the version with Ethernet, all you need is iPad or iPhone plus the MConnect app; in this MConnect app you configure Qobuz or Tidal or both , find your favorites then press play. Doesn’t get any easier ...

Aurender's "Sound"
@jaybe What speakers? What model Pass amp?I had an Aurender N-10 for a bit; I really liked it and preferred the COAX connection to my DAC at that time; I found it be very neutral and organic, perhaps a tad soft. I think I understand your original ...

Review on Bricasti Design M3 DAC
@teajayJust read it. Nice job!! If I may, your sentence ..." all rendered in an overall grain-less silky-smooth organic presentation" pretty much sums up my experience with the M3. It is immensely musical and coherent! I just keep going back to th...
