The Bricasti M5 is a network player and media renderer that connects your server to your audio system. This is done via a stable network connection, or via Wi-Fi. With broad support for many network protocols, such as DNLA, the Bricasti M5 delivers the perfect lossless audio data stream to your audio system. Your server can be placed wherever you wish. The Bricasti M5 features ultimate AES/EBU, SPDIF and special USB Audio outputs for connection to your DA Converter. The Bricasti M5 does the processing. Nearly all sample rates are supported, from 16-bit 44.1 kHz to DSD 128.

Bricasti M5 Audio Player

Play from anywhere : The Bricasti M5 plays back wired or wirelessly over your data network. Many customers use a separate music server, which is stored somewhere in the house. You don't want the server in the listening room. The Antipodes servers solve the problem, but some don't want servers in the listening room. With the Bricasti M5 network player, you can place this pure audio source anywhere, separate from the server.

Applications : Play as a RoonReady player from a Roon Core, play in Audirvana as a player from an Audirvana server, play directly from BubbleUPnP for Android. Play from a JRiver media center.

Pure Sound : The Bricasti M5 is a dedicated DLNA and Roon Ready music player of the highest quality. Your ROON server instantly recognizes the Bricasti M5 as RAAT (Roon Advanced Audio Transport) and you can play directly to the M5. Simply put, the raw audio data is delivered to the Bricasti M5 over the network, and the M5 then renders the data into the perfect digital data stream. This task is very important, the purer the digital data stream, the better the end result. This data stream is provided in its most pure form via USB, or via AES/EBU and SPDIF and the musical end result is the purest music you have ever experienced. Ohm-Audio BV recommends connection via a good network cable. That is always more stable than a Wi-Fi connection. Once connected to your DA Converter, you experience the pure and ultra-quiet digital outputs of the Bricasti M5.

Build : The chassis of the Bricasti M5 is entirely made of billet aluminum plates. This means the chassis, like all other Bricasti units, is relatively free of resonances. It can't be stiffer or tighter. The power supply is a very high-quality linear design, the same as the one found in 1 channel of the Bricasti M1SE DA Converter. The USB output also has a dedicated power line, and this USB output reaches great heights as a result. You can't get it any purer. The Bricasti M5 is thus a network player and renderer. The Bricasti M5 receives the raw data blocks from the server, converts them to audio files, and then to the output protocols. Coax RCA, AES/EBU XLR, or dedicated USB. The USB output has the advantage that it also passes DSD and high-resolution files unimpeded. If you play DSD via the SPDIF or AES/EBU output, a maximum of DSD64 is achievable as DoP (DSD over PCM), then you need a DAC that accepts DoP, otherwise you can also play DSD files as High Res PCM.
