Bricasti M11 Classic Dual Mono Ladder DAC
The M11 R2R is the concentration of the Ladder D/A technology found in the flagship Bricasti Design M21. The M11 features the fit, finish and sonic qualities of our classic analog design, classic chassis and MDx processor.
Elegant and refined
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 SRC's so signals stay native and true. The digital section is coupled with a pristine analog path with the goal to deliver the truest possibly representation of tonality, precision and dimension.
Superb Analog
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, you will experience new depth, detail and dimensionality in your music. Improved spacial cues and separation create a truly immersive experience.
Network Player
The optional Network player offers one of the most sonically advantages avenues for audio playback created in the last decade, with pristine data transmission over long distances, without loss of signal or degradation from cable runs. This means your server can be located anywhere on the network rather than in your listening space, creating a clutter-free listening environment and ground-breaking performance.
Masterfully connected
The M11 digital input selection is well appointed to fit most any system. It also features a fully differential design which creates a less resistant output signal path, ideal when matched with fully differential M20 preamplifier and the Bricasti M28 and M25 amplifiers.
Handcrafted in the USA
All of our products are crafted in the old world tradition, in a classic brick mill building in Massachusetts USA by a team of individuals dedicated to excellence.
