| Audio Mirror Tubadour III tube rolling I rolled some Siemens, Mullard and Amperex 6922 as well as a highly regarded Russian 6N1P, but ultimately decided the best tubes were those Vlad originally supplied. | |
| Back to the DAC Relax. Breathe. Enjoy. Don’t over think it. The combo of N200 with Conductor (streaming or onboard SSD) and M1 Series 2 will be remarkably satisfying. | |
| Back to the DAC M21 and M12 are both $16k retail. Different components for different purposes. What purpose do you need filled? That’s the question that requires answering. | |
| Back to the DAC If you want an M1 SE DAC with sets of analog RCA and XLR inputs, then an M12 is it. It’s a two source preamp with a Sigma Delta DAC. Maybe that’s more appealing to you and you’d prefer this component to a DAC. I shouldn’t have automatically con... | |
| Back to the DAC I also just saw a Bricasti M12 come up on USAM for not much more that I'm going to put into the M1...darn! You’re conflating an M21 Dual Mono DAC with the M12 Dual Source Controller. | |
| An Inspired Meeting: Haynes and Scofield jam on Allman Bros' "Dreams" Thank you for this thread! Just a tremendous performance. Massive John Scofield fan. | |
| Best DAC’S $5k to $15k Preference is key. I believe there is no universally best DAC, although there are subjectively best DACs for each system and listener. I purchased a mint condition, used Mola Mola Tambaqui a couple years ago. I recognized and appreciated its cha... | |
| Back to the DAC I owned two DACs with i2S: Holo Audio May KTE (terrific DAC), Rockna WaveDream Edition XLR (also outstanding). At the time, I owned a Rockna WaveDream NET streamer with i2S output (excellent streamer/server and Roon Core). So, I guess I am one i... | |
| Back to the DAC …recently I started thinking that the DAC is more important because without the information that the DAC provides then it doesn’t matter how good the preamp is if the information isn’t there. You will find many who agree. Source first. Opti... | |
| Marantz SA10 sacd player Jafant I am choosing stereo rehab here in Chicago. This was recommended by TVAD. They will assessed the player in front of me.Thats how they do it. When I visited Stereo Rehab with my brother, who needed some service on his late 1980s Panasonic... | |
| Back to the DAC Bricasti is remarkably quick doing updates. I recall when I sent a M1 to them that required the full package including MDx, SE, Series II and TFT display, they turned it around in three days. When I sent a M21 for the TFT display, it was compl... | |
| Back to the DAC The TFT display is your call. I updated my M21 display because I wanted to have the most current configuration to maximize value, and the optional font colors allow me to match the light/display colors of other nearby components in the system.... | |
| Back to the DAC You’re welcome. Network option on the M1? | |
| Aurender is finally Roon Ready?! Here’s a screenshot of Roon device set-up for the N30SA. DSD512 available. This recording is presently playing at DSD256 on my DAC (maximum supported DSD rate). | |
| Aurender is finally Roon Ready?! ...if you have DSD files in your Roon library, they will be downsampled for the Aurender.if you have DSD files in your Roon library, they will be downsampled for the Aurender. I have a couple DSD256 recordings downloaded. Roon settings limit to... |
