Bricasti Design M11 R2R Digital to Analog Converter
Best ultimate sound reproduction for discerning audiophiles.
The Bricasti Design M11 R2R is a digital-to-analog converter that concentrates the Ladder D/A technology found in the flagship M21. It features the fit, finish, and sonic qualities of classic analog designs, a classic chassis, and the MDx processor. The M11 utilizes resistor ladder D/A technology coupled with the latest proprietary MDx digital platform, clocking algorithms, and filter technology for exceptional performance without the use of SRCs, ensuring signals remain native and true. The digital section is coupled with a pristine analog path to deliver the truest possible representation of tonality, precision, and dimension. A high-performance linear power architecture allows for a clean signal with extremely low noise and expansive headroom. Featuring point-to-point wiring and Stillpoint isolation integrated directly into the chassis, it offers new depth, detail, and dimensionality in your music, with improved spacial cues and separation for a truly immersive experience. The optional Network player offers a sonically advantageous avenue for audio playback, with pristine data transmission over long distances without signal loss or degradation. The M11 digital input selection is well appointed to fit most any system and features a fully differential design for a less resistant output signal path, ideal when matched with fully differential M20 preamplifiers and M28 or M25 amplifiers. Handcrafted in the USA.
