This is a Bricasti M3 DAC including the optional headphone amp (balanced and single-ended) and streamer (ethernet) options. It is the latest version with the MDx processor. Purchased new from the Australian distributor (Studio Connections) in September 2021.

Excellent condition with all original packaging and invoice provided. Paid $9,090 new and wait time was about two months. I anticipate prices have increased with the poor AUD / USD exchange rate.

This is the best DAC I have owned with a neutral, detailed but musical sound, and excellent soundstage and separation. The headphone amp is powerful and the streamer is Roon ready with no dropouts or other issues experienced. The build quality is also the best I’ve experienced with any audio equipment. Overall, an excellent all-in-one device.

For some helpful reviews, which I agree with, see https://hifiplus.com/articles/bricasti-design-m3-dac/,http://v2.stereotimes.com/post/bricasti-design-m3-dac-by-terry-london/, https://www.hifinews.com/content/bricasti-m3-network-attached-dac.

Reason for sale is that I’ve now got a separate headphone amp and using it purely single-ended with an integrated amp, so I feel like I’m not getting full use out of its features and plan to move to a single-ended DAC.

Happy to provide any further info.
