    Esoteric to Bricasti?

    I can't comment on Esoteric or your Linux compatibility question. Bricasti products are top notch, sound really good and come with exemplary customer service. I have owned the M1 DAC for a number of years and recently upgraded to the M1S2 and purchased the M20 Preamp and I couldn't be happier...

    Buying Advice Melco Vs Antipodes

    I have a Pink Faun modified Melco S100 powered by Farad power supplies. The Melco S10 is probably the same as the S100 but with a beefier power supply to match. Power Supplies make a difference. I have a Melco server in conjunction with the S100. You can see why, my vote would be for the Melco.

    A purposefully designed room is quite a treat. I spotted a ASR Emitter II and a Bricasti DAC in there as well. Top notch stuff. Thanks for sharing.

    Deqx

    I actually sold the DEQX and my system has evolved quite a bit to say the least. Almost everything is new except for my ASR Emitter II. The DEQX is a very powerful tool and can do wonders. My advise to you.....if you can, take your speakers outside to take measurements it will be an eye opener...
