M19 SACD/CD REFERENCE TRANSPORT

M19 SACD/CD REFERENCE TRANSPORT

  • High-Resolution Playback: Supports both CD and SACD formats, ensuring premium audio quality across both mediums

  • Dual Medical-Grade Power Supplies: Separate, high-grade power supplies isolate the CD mechanism from the signal path, minimizing interference and delivering clean, precise audio reproduction

  • Proprietary I2S Digital Connection: Features a custom I2S connection for enhanced integration with Bricasti DACs, ensuring low jitter and signal accuracy

  • DSD Over PCM (DoP): Enables DSD transmission over a single digital cable, preserving native DSD quality for compatible DACs

  • Superior Digital Outputs: Equipped with AES and SPDIF outputs, providing flexible connectivity for high-end setups

  • Finish available in Classic black, Argento silver, and Platinum

The M19 Reference SACD/CD Transport offers a refreshingly simple operating experience, focusing solely on delivering exceptional performance. Its design emphasizes simplicity, eliminating the need for additional features such as upsampling, DACs, digital inputs, or USB support.

These extra elements can often complicate the experience when all you want to do is insert a disc and play it, and can also compromise the purity of the digital design itself. Every aspect of the M19’s design has been carefully considered to preserve the integrity of the original mastered media, ensuring that no additional processing is applied. This commitment guarantees clear and faithful audio rendering of the highest quality.

POWER PLAYER

THE HEART OF ANY PRODUCT

The design of the M19 power supply incorporates two separate, oversized linear power supplies featuring medical-grade toroidal transformers. One power supply is dedicated to the drive's mechanical components, including the motor drive and loader, while the other powers the digital components and the audio path. This separation ensures that both sections operate independently, providing stable, high-current power to the motor and mechanical systems.

As a result, we achieve accurate and consistent motor speeds. It also eliminates potential cross-feed interference between the drive and the audio path electronics, which could otherwise introduce jitter or power supply ripple.

DETAILS MAKE

ALL THE DIFFERENCE

The M19 is designed as a single, complete assembly housed in a milled aluminum chassis. This approach places the power supply close to the drive and digital output sections, significantly reducing the risk of RF interference. Just as importantly, it ensures isolated, high-quality current delivery from the power supply to the drive motor. By integrating the components, the design eliminates unnecessary cables and connectors.

It’s worth noting that this system operates on low-current, low-voltage DC power, which optimizes current delivery throughout the device. As such, relocating the power supplies further from the drive offers no practical advantage.

FEATURES

I2S

PERFORMANCE

The M19 Reference SACD/CD Transport features our proprietary I2S digital output, designed exclusively for Bricasti DACs. This direct connection ensures seamless integration and enhances clarity, layering, and soundstage. The I2S input is available as an option on all new Bricasti DACs and can be added as an upgrade for existing models.

Handcrafted in the USA

All 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.
