Guido,Have you heard the Bricasti M1? If so, please share your impressions. 
Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
Fsmithjack,I note your system lists 2 old Synergistic Research power cords and that your system is single ended. I wonder what the result would be if you listened to the DS DAC with high end power cords substituted for those old Synergistic Resear...

How Do You Feel about The Cable Game?
Raks,You hit the nail on the head -- the bang for the buck. Many cable makers get away with audio murder -- inferior cables at superior prices. There is another thread at the moment that highlights this very thing with a cable maker -- not Synergi...
