All digital inputs types are supported as well as balanced and unbalanced analog inputs, all with precise analog gain control, seamlessly integrated into one product, your source controller.The M12 builds upon the proven design of the M1 SE D/A converter so your digital sources are handled and converted in the best way. To that we add to it a pure dual mono analog signal path with high resolution analog gain and level control, controlling the output stage of the D/A converter in the analog domain with no loss of resolution and pass thru analog inputs for your analog sources. Like the M1, the M12 is a dual mono design with 3 power supplies and separate left and right analog power supplies and digital and analog processing. The M12 Platinum incorporates the latest Bricasti Design high-performance MDx processor.Network StreamingA new feature for the M12 is a network interface and media renderer. This allows the M12 to be seen as a DLNA device on an audio network and server as an audio device to play or stream to through a wired connection on your network. Now you can run wired data longer distances without loss in quality so your network server can go anywhere you choose.DSD to new heightsAnalog gain control has allowed us to take DSD playback to the ultimate level. The M12 features a pure analog DSD converter; any filtering and level is accomplished in the analog domain. When processed this way, no digital signal processing is done. Typically in most DACs the DSD is converted to a multi-bit sigma delta or PCM signal for filter processing. With the M12 we offer a pure DSD path and all post processing for noise filtering and level control are accomplished purely in the analog domain.Analog levelAll analog, precise, silent control with 90db of control range in one db steps, all remote controlled and programmable. The M12 digital controlled fully balanced dual mono resistor ladder is as good as level can be, and inserted at the source, at the output of the DAC’s I-V stage. This approach provides some of the best digital playback possible and analog control from the M12 balanced or unbalanced inputs.Masterfully connectedBalanced and unbalanced analog inputs create the line amp stage for the M12. Fully balanced and a perfect match for the M28 power amps or the M15 stereo amp, the M12 provides true differential source control to drive any power amp.Handcrafted in the USAAll 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.SPECIFICATIONSDigital Inputs XLR: AES/EBU 24 bit Single Wire, BNC: SPDIF, RCA: SPDIF, Optical: Toslink 44.1- 96k, USB 2Sample Rates AES, SPDIF, AUX in 44.1 kHz, to, 192khzSample Rates USB 44.1 kHz, to, 384kHz, DSD 64fs 128Fs 256Fs Native and DoPSample Rates Ethernet 44.1 kHz to 384kHz, DSD 128 NativeJitter 8 psec @ 48k / 6psec @ 96kBalanced Analog Outputs XLR balanced (pin 2 hot)Impedance 40 ohmOutput @ full scale +16.5 dbm (5.2V RMS)Output Level 90db in 1 db stepsD/A Conversion PCM 24 bit delta sigma 8x oversampling, DSD direct 1 bitFrequency Response @44.1k 10 hz- 20 kHz +0dB, -.2 dBDynamic Range >120dB A-WeightedTHD+N @ 1k .0008% @ 0dbfs / .0004% @-30dbfsUnbalanced Analog Outputs RCAImpedance 40 ohmOutput level Full scale at front panel +6 dbm (1.2V RMS)D/A Conversion 24 bit delta sigma 8x oversamplingFrequency Response @ 44.1k 10 hz- 20 kHz -.2 dBDynamic Range >120dB A-WeightedTHD+N @ 1k .0008% @ 0dbfs / .0004% @-30dbfsGeneral Specifications EMC: Complies with: EN 55103-1, EN 55103-2, FCC part 15 and Class BRoHS Complies with: EU RoHS Directive 2002/95/ECSafety Certified to: IEC 60065, EN 55103-2Operating Temperature 32 F to 105 F (0 C to 40 C)Storage Temperature: -22 f to 167 F (-30 C to 70 C)Finish Anodized AluminumDimensions 17” x 12“ x 4.5”Weight 15 lbsShipping Weight 18 lbsShipping Dimensions 22”x 17”x 7”Mains Voltage -100, 120, 220, 240 VAC, 50 Hz – 60 Hz factory setTrigger out TRS mini jack, Tip ground, Sleeve 5VPower consumption: 28 Watts (6W standby)Warranty parts and labor 2 yrs non-transferable.
Generating expert take…
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.
