I get the impression that the software side of things is part of the issue, and this doesn't seem to be Bricasti's strong point. Apparently they get all their software from an outside supplier, and don't have the ability to do much in terms of upgrades.

 

Form my studies of their PCBs that does not seem likely. Lots of coding key to their products going on on the middle board with big SHARC chip.

I wonder what they are using for USB hardware wise, if it is XMOS getting higher rates of native DSD to work should not be very difficult.  Also, if Bricasti has a lack in the coding area (internally or amongst their consultants) I would find it hard to believe they developed their own Ethernet interface.  

 

Yes, definitely XMOS for the USB input.  Integrated onto their main DSP board.

I use EtherRegen w/ a Sablon cable into the Bricasti. It sounds better than direct from my generic switch. I am not sure if adding an audiophile switch will bring additional benefit with EtherRegen. I think it could be marginal or negligible.

 

Hey, I thought the EtherREGEN was an "audiophile" switch! 

Guess I need to dial up the marketing-speak on our web site...
