| Bricasti Model 1 Series II DAC I upgraded my M1 se to and series 2 and have about 100 hours on it so far. First impressions compared to M1 se - sound stage is deeper, increase in detail maybe just darker between instruments and bass is not as pronounced. All in all very happy... | |
| Upgrade to a better server. Ideas? Im not sure if a different server will make a significant difference in sound quality but if you have a "larger" music collection you might want to give Andrew Gillis at Small Green Computer and look at one the i5, i7, or i9 servers. Also conside... | |

| Great Small Room Speakers for $3-5k I would add to your list a used pair of Joseph Audio Pulsars. | |
| What was the most impactful addition to your system? GZ34 metal base in my Modwright pre power supply. Still using in my Cary SLP05. Component - ADG Audio mono blocks | |
| How much should I spend on a new DAC +1 on the Bricasti M3. I would look for a used Bricasti with a network steamer card. | |
| GREAT NEWS! The Coda Technology new #16 amplifier will arrive this week I’m envious of everyone getting a 16. After a few heath issues I moved to ADG Audions and am done with power amps. The weight, heat and sound quality are excellent. Good luck guys. I just can’t handle the weight and heat moving forward. Grea... | |

| Why Don't you hear more about Audio Physics Speakers?? When I first heard them I kind of had to have them. As I owned them I noticed they did not have the fullness I tend to like. It may have been my room but I’ve owned Revel, Proac, and a few others and never thought I was missing midrange. | |
| Why Don't you hear more about Audio Physics Speakers?? I owned the Avanti for a brief time. While they created a large sound stage and detail they had a very “soft” mid frequency in my room and set up. I tried to like them but in the end I ended up selling. Other equipment included Primaluna HP w/ ... | |

| Streamer-DAC vs Seperates For me it came down to power cables and interconnects. When I looked at all separates the total cost versus a DAC with built in streamer was not really close. I ended up with a Bricasti M1 se with network / streamer card. I would do that again ... | |
| New DAC or New Streamer? When I started done this path I was also thinking of the solution as streamer and DAC. As I learned more I added in a separate music server (hardware). I think it is important if you have a large music library (> 2TB+) and use Roon. In the en... | |

| Joseph Audio: Perspectives and Pearls I have not compared perspectives to peals but own perspectives. I’ve gone through a couple of amp upgrades and preamp upgrades and continue to be impressed with the perspectives. They sound better with every upgrade. I’m not convinced I can spe... |
