Manufacturer's Description from Bricasti

Reference D/A

The MC1 digital to analog converter is a fully-differential stereo reference D/A designed for critical audio applications. Years in development and refinement, the MC1 recreates audio waveforms with exacting precision with a goal to carefully preserve harmonic integrity. This means instrumentation and human voices sound life-like, transparent and maintain their intended recorded character.


Design and performance

The MC1 has two completely isolated channels, each with its own dedicated linear power supply, D/A converter, DDS clocking, and analog circuitry. This design ensures that analog crosstalk is virtually nonexistent, that the necessary power requirements for each channel are well met and isolated from each other and the digital processing is isolated, having its own power supply. With our twin DAC design, the dynamic range for each channel is optimized by using the stereo ADI 1955 D/A converter in a mono configuration. The MC1 also includes Bricasti's proprietary filter technology, critical to achieving optimum results in a modern reference D/A.

About Manufacturer

Against all odds, Bricasti Design has emerged with a truly earth-shattering, flagship, modern-reverb processor at a very reasonable price for what you get. The company is founded and run by former Lexicon designers who broke away with the drive and vision to take Reverb to another level. While there are skeptics everywhere who feel that the days of hardware reverbs are behind us giving way to plug-in only solutions, Bricasti has proven that such a thought couldn't be further from the truth. The amount of sheer processing power in their flagship Model 7 (the equivalent of 5 x ProTools Accel Cards), has proven that these new Reverb algorithms aren't going to shop up (or even be replicable) in computer based DAW's in the foreseeable future. If you want to achieve the most natural sounding, impressive, and cutting-edge natural spaces and reverbs, look no further than Bricasti.
