General : Bricasti from the USA originally manufactures digital high-end products for the professional world. The Bricasti M1 SE is the successor to the first in a series of high-end products from the manufacturer, the Bricasti M1 Classic. It is one of the first completely dual mono constructed DA converters in the world. Additionally, the Bricasti M1 is one of the few DA converters suitable for displaying native DSD and DXD files.

Engineering : The Bricasti M1 SE is built with CNC milled aluminum sections and heavy aluminum panels. You will not find sheet metal here, but exclusively resonance-free panels. Even the top plate and bottom panels are milled. Everything to benefit sound quality. All parts are heavily anodized and engraved with text via laser inscription. Built to ultra-high standards and with a very long lifespan. The Bricasti M1 SE is a fully dual mono constructed DA converter and improved in several respects compared to the M1 Classic. The Bricasti M1 SE, like the M1 Classic, has 2 mono 24-bit DA converters built into 1 housing. Each channel uses a stereo ADI-1955 DA converter in a fully balanced mono configuration. However, the M1 SE is point-to-point soldered. The M1 SE also features specially designed Stillpoint feet for this M1 SE. Additionally, the power supply has been enlarged. 8 different digital filters are available, including the latest apodizing filters (minimum phase) and linear filters. The Bricasti M1 SE locks at all frequencies from 16-bit 44.1 kHz to 24-bit 384 kHz and on DSD and DXD files. Various digital inputs are available. AES/EBU, Toslink, SPDIF, BNC, and USB-2. The analog output stage is a pure class A discrete output stage built on expensive Arlon boards. By default, it is set to 2 volts, but the jumper can also be moved so that the output voltage of the XLR output is adjustable between 0.5 volts to 17 volts. You can thus drive your power amplifier directly with the Bricasti M1 SE. You then have a high-quality, fully balanced high-end setup with a minimum number of components. Also, an excellent clock is used for the conversion. An ultra-low 6 picosecond jitter value is the result.

Listening : The Bricasti M1 SE is a DA converter of the highest quality. The sound is completely analog, with no trace of digital harshness. The soundstage is enormous and exciting. There is plenty happening. The reproduction of voices is also very special. Pure in construction and with very precise placement. The artists appear live before you. Very special. It is increasingly noticeable that you no longer listen to the technology, but are only focused on the performance of the performers. Compared to the M1 Classic, the M1 SE sounds somewhat faster, more open and more dynamic. You are welcome to listen to the Bricasti M1 SE at Ohm-Audio bv. Bring your favorite CDs.

This Bricasti M1SE is in very good condition and is supplied with original packaging.
