General : Bricasti Design from the USA originally manufactures digital high-end products for the professional world. The Bricasti M1 is the first in a series of high-end products from the manufacturer. It is one of the first fully dual mono configured D/A Converters in the world.

Technology : The Bricasti M1 MDx is built with CNC milled aluminum sections and heavy aluminum plates. You won't find sheet metal here, but exclusively resonance-free plates. Even the top and bottom plates are milled. Everything to enhance sound quality. All parts are heavily anodized and labeled via laser inscription. Built to ultra-high standards and with a very long lifespan. The Bricasti M1 MDx is a fully Dual Mono and Dual DAC configured D/A Converter. That means truly 2 Mono 24 Bit PCM and 2 discrete DSD DA Converters in one housing. Via the remote control, more than 10 different digital filters are available, including the latest Apodizing Filters (Minimum Phase) and faster linear filters. The Bricasti M1 locks at all frequencies from 16bit 44.1KHz to 24bit 384KHz and on 256DSD and DXD Files. Various digital inputs are available. AES/EBU, Toslink, SPDIF, BNC, and USB 2.0. The analog output stage is a pure Class A discrete output stage built on high-quality Arlon boards. By default, this is set to 2 Volts, but the jumper can also be moved so that the output voltage of the balanced output is adjustable from 0.5 Volts to 17 Volts. An excellent clock is also used for the conversion. An ultra-low 6 picosecond jitter value is the result.

Sound : The Bricasti M1 MDx is a D/A Converter of the highest quality. The new MDx digital input board, with its much more powerful processor and better clock, is a real sonic improvement. By the way, this board can be installed in any M1 or M1SE, for those with an M1 or M1 SE that don't have the MDx yet. The sound of the Bricasti M1 is completely analog, with no trace of digital harshness left. With the MDx board, the sound has become somewhat faster and more dynamic, and also noticeably more open. The soundstage is enormous and exciting. A lot is happening. The voice reproduction is also very special. Pure in structure and very precise placement. The artists appear live before you. Very special. It is increasingly noticeable that you are no longer listening to the technology, but only engaged with the performance of the performers.
