Offered is „Bricasti M1 Classic MDX“ by Bricasti Design as second-hand device from the category „D/A Converter“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 1170891790 ends on 18.11.2026 at 10:23 o'clock.
At €4,500, this sits well below the typical used asking price for the M1 and even under the €4,500 25th percentile anchor, so it reads as a strong deal rather than just “reasonable.” For a DAC of this caliber, that’s a compelling entry point if the unit is clean and fully functional.
The M1 is prized for its very natural, low-fatigue presentation, excellent resolution, and the sort of ease that makes long listening sessions feel effortless. At this price, the upside is straightforward: if it’s been well cared for, you’re getting a seriously respected reference-level piece for unusually little money, so the key buyer checks are simply provenance, included remote/accessories, and confirming all inputs and outputs behave as they should.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Bricasti Design emerged in 2004 from Shirley, Massachusetts, blending New England precision with an Italian-inspired name derived from founders Brian Zolner and Casey Dowdell. Both veterans of Lexicon and Madrigal Labs—where Dowdell honed digital expertise and Zolner led engineering—the duo launched the company initially as a pro-audio specialist, crafting revered digital reverbs in a historic brick mill. Over two decades, this heritage has shaped a brand synonymous with meticulous, hand-built electronics that bridge studio rigor and home listening.
The lineup centers on high-caliber digital and analog components, with the flagship M1 DAC series establishing its reputation for transparency and musicality. Offerings span DACs like the M3 and M21, SACD transports such as the M19, monoblock amplifiers including the M28, and integrated solutions, all prioritizing proprietary conversion, low-noise power supplies, and versatile interfaces for PCM and DSD. Absent are speakers, turntables, headphones, or cables—Bricasti hones a focused arsenal for discerning digital playback and amplification.
Positioned firmly in the high-end boutique realm, Bricasti commands respect among audiophiles and professionals for its no-compromise engineering and restrained aesthetics. Priced from $12,000 for top DACs, it appeals to buyers seeking studio-grade purity in consumer hi-fi, earning consistent acclaim in elite circles without chasing mass-market volume.
