Bricasti Design er specialister i digitale processorer og har i en årrække været foretrukket mærke i en stor portion musikstudier og hos en stor skare af musikere i bl.a. USA og Canada.
Bricasti designer deres produkter helt fra bunden, og alt er lavet i second-to-none finish og forarbejdning.
Selve digital-delen er bygget op omkring en dual-mono konstruktion med ADI-1955 kredse i hver side. Lige klods op ad DAC-kredsen er clock-kredsløbet placeret, og der anvendes en teknik kaldes DDS (Direct Digital Synthesis) som ifølge Bricasti tager jitteren til en umåleligt niveau.
Under låget finder man, som tidligere nævnt, en 100% dual-mono konstruktion med separate print og strømforsyninger til hver kanal. Der sidder separat ringkerne til hver kanal og egen strømforsyning til DAC-kredsen ved hjælp af endnu en ringkerne-trafo.
Alt er adskilt i chassiset der er lavet 100% af fræset aluminium. Alle dele er præcisionsskåret og lavet for bedst mulig afkobling af de sarte kredsløb. Tekst er lasergraveret i frontpladen for at holde et rent udseende, og samtlige knapper er ligeledes i massiv aluminium.
Displayet er en stor og tydeligt DOT-type, og kendere vil automatisk tænke lidt hen ad Mark Levinson når de ser designet på Bricasti-produkterne.
På indgangssiden er der USB, optisk, coaxial og AES-EBU balanceret digital-indgang. Udgangene er enten balancerede eller ubalancerede.
M1 leveres med fjernbetjening til styring af alle funktioner, og den har samtidig den feature at den kan tilsluttes direkte til en effektforstærker, da der samtidig er variabel udgang. Benytter man udelukkende digitale kilder, kan M1 derfor være et oplagt valg hvis man er på udkig efter en velspillende DAC/forforstærker, der kan bide skeer med de store.
Bricasti Design's M1 is a Class A+ digital processor and has state-of-the-art measured performance" - John Atkinson, Stereophile.
The highly acclaimed Bricasto M1 Digital to Analog is now available with the latest generation asynchronous USB interface supporting sample rates of 192khx and 24 bits!
Testimonials
"The sound of the Bricasti's M1 with the new (optional) minimum-phase filters was, in one word richer. Lots richer. It was like going from a great cabernet sauvignon to a truly great ruby port...So my personal best just got better."
- John Marks, Stereophile Follow up, September, 2012
"The Bricasti M1 offers sound quality that, on balance, I preferred to the other two processors (Weiss DAC 202 and the DCS Debussy)... Bricasti Design's M1 is a Class A+ digital processor... Bricasti Design's M1 has state-of-the-art measured performance"
- John Atkinson, Stereophile, February 2012 (read the review)
"Fast, detailed, effortlessly powerful, musically revealing. Fatigue-free listening. The best digital playback I have heard."
- John Marks, Stereophile, August 2011 (read the review)
Overview
The Bricasti M1 is a dual mono design. This means that there are 2 completely isolated channels, a left and right, each with its own dedicated linear power supply, D/A converter, clocking, and analog circuitry. This design insures that analog cross talk is virtually non existent, and that the necessary power requirements for each channel are well met and isolated from each other and the digital processing which has its own power supply. With the twin DAC design, the dynamic range for each channel is optimized by using a the stereo ADI 1955 D/A converter in a mono configuration, plus clocking is for each channel done directly at the DAC with a technique called DDS (direct digital synthesis) which takes clock induced jitter to immeasurable levels.
BUILD QUALITY
The M1 is robustly constructed of milled and CNC machined aluminum sections. There is no typical bent metal chassis and top cover found on most products. All sections of the construction, the front and rear panels, the sides and even the bottom and top plates start out as solid blocks of aluminum which are precision machined to shape, with exact tolerances for a perfect fit. These parts are then anodized and the text and markings are laser etched for a clean and enduring look.
THE SOUND
The intention if the M1 is to provide a state-of-the art, Digital-to-Analog converter, utilizing the best designs and materials that can be found today. The D/A converter is a very critical part of the digital audio chain, after all you have to convert it to analog to hear it, and Bricasti feel this should be a true as possible in its reconstruction of the original signal. The sound of the M1 is intended to be transparent and revealing, and fully dynamic. This in part is made possible by the lowering the jitter to extremely low levels, providing a pure digital signal chain with no SRCs ( sample rate converters) or digital volume controllers, superior digital filter design, coupled to a fast transparent analog signal path with a discreet analog output section and plenty of good clean linear power for optimum analog performance. Many hours of listening were done to tune the M1 to an exacting sound, with all types of music, and with extensive testing done in the studio and in the home. We believe you will find the M1 to be pleasing and enjoyable to hear and use in the home, or as a precision tool for high level reference monitoring for the professional.
M1 REMOTE CONTROL OPTION
The new M1 Remote Control offers an upgrade to any existing M1 providing remote access to all settings and full parametric control of the M1
