Offered is „Bricasti M1 DAC“ 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 2473521854 ends on 26.11.2026 at 17:37 o'clock.
Against the recent EUR comps, €4,750 lands a bit above the €4,399 median and just over the €4,590 75th percentile, so this reads as slightly ambitious rather than a clean bargain. It is not wildly out of line for a strong-condition example, but it is priced at the top end of the current used spread rather than in the sweet spot.
That said, the M1 has a real reputation for smooth, highly resolving conversion and a mature, no-drama presentation, so a good-condition unit can still be worth chasing if you want a long-term DAC. If it includes the original box, remote, and has documented service history or an original-owner story, that helps justify the ask; otherwise, buyers should expect to negotiate a bit given the premium over the median.
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.
