About the M5

The Bricasti Design M5 is a high-performance network player designed as a dedicated streaming endpoint for hi-fi systems. It connects via Ethernet to deliver pristine lossless audio to external DACs, supporting a wide range of formats and protocols including Roon Ready, DLNA, JRiver, and Audirvāna. Housed in a precision-machined anodized aluminum chassis milled from solid blocks for minimal vibration and EMI, it features a fully linear power supply shared with the M1 DAC for low-noise performance. Outputs include balanced AES (XLR), SPDIF (RCA, optional 75 ohm BNC), and USB for digital audio. It powers on in standby mode with a front button and LED, and supports trigger in/out for system integration. Handcrafted in the USA, the M5 emphasizes signal integrity, jitter-free output, and compatibility with high-end audio setups. Note: Some sources indicate it may be discontinued.
