Bricasti M1 Model 1 Special Edition Dual Mono Digital to Analog Converter

Description The M1 Dual Mono Masterpiece The Bricasti Design Model 1 USB Digital to Analog Converter The M1 digital to analog converter is a dual mono design; there are two completely isolated channels, each with its own dedicated linear power supply, D/A converter, DDS clocking, and analog circuitry. This design ensures that analog crosstalk is virtually nonexistent, that the necessary power requirements for each channel are well met and isolated from each other and the digital processing is isolated, having its own power supply. With our twin DAC design, the dynamic range for each channel is optimized by using the stereo ADI 1955 D/A converter in a mono configuration. The M1 also includes Bricasti’s own proprietary filter technology, further opening new territory with what is achievable in a modern D/A reference. Network Player Option First incorporated for the M12 Dual Mono Source Controller, The Bricasti network interface and media renderer option allows any M1 to be seen as a DNLA device on an audio network and server as an audio device to play or stream to through a wired connection on your network. Now you can run wired data longer distances without loss in quality so your network server can go anywhere you choose. Product Highlights DSD64, DSD128 and DSD 256 playback. High-performance MDx processor. Dedicated dual mono design. Highly acclaimed, proprietary filter technology. Extremely low jitter @ 6 picoseconds. Supports sample rates of up to 352.8kHz and 24 bits. Minimum and linear phase filters. M1 Remote Control The M1 remote control provides full control of the M1 and is now a standard feature of the M1. The M1 remote is also available as an upgrade kit to be added to any M1.
