ENG.

General : Bricasti 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 constructed DA converters in the world. Furthermore, the Bricasti M1 is one of the few DA converters suitable for playing native DSD and DXD files.

Technology : The Bricasti M1 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 and bottom panels are milled. Everything to benefit sound quality. All parts are heavily anodized and labeled with laser inscription. Built to ultra-high standards and with a very long lifespan. The Bricasti M1 is a fully dual-mono constructed DA converter. That means truly 2 Mono 24-bit DA converters in 1 enclosure. Each channel uses a Stereo ADI-1955 DA converter in a fully balanced mono configuration. There are 8 different digital filters available, including the latest Apodizing Filters (Minimum Phase) and linear filters. The Bricasti M1 locks to all frequencies from 16-bit 44.1KHz to 24-bit 384KHz and on DSD and DXD files. Various digital inputs are available. AES/EBU, Toslink, SPDIF, and USB-2. The analog output stage is a pure Class A discrete output stage built on expensive Arlon boards. This is standard set to 2 volts, but the jumper can also be moved so 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 is a DA converter of the highest quality. The sound is completely analog, with no trace of digital harshness remaining. The soundstage is enormous and exciting. There is a lot happening. The vocal 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 no longer listen to the equipment but only focus on the performance of the performers. You are welcome to audition the Bricasti M1 at Ohm-Audio bv. Bring your favorite CDs. This Bricasti M1 is only 3 years old, has the latest power supply, is in absolute mint condition, and is completely complete with the original packaging and accessories.
