Hi folks, I am a Digital only Audiophile and have decided to significantly alter my front end. I have a custom Win 7, Esoteric K-03X, connected via Shunyata Alpha USB feeding a McIntosh C1100 PreAmp. The PC is fed via a 25’ Supra ethernet cable into a Gigafoil V4 (with Keces Power supply) with the final 0.65 meters of Resolution Audio Ethernet cable.
After a fabulous in-house demo of a Bricasti M1SE (pre MDx board), I am moving into a multi-step process with first an M3 with Network and eventually to an M21 with Network card.
My question is about what becomes most important in this front end?
The Bricasti (ROON endpoint) will be fed (local files on NAS and Qobuz) from my router via the 8 meter Supra cable to a Gigafoil V4 (powered by Keces PS) with A final 0.65 meters being the Resolution audio Ethernet cable. The Win 7 PC simply runs ROON core and will be connected to the router via rather generic Ethernet cable.
I will use the Bricasti as my PreAmp as well.
One product replacing many.
Any thoughts are welcomed.
