I might have found the problem, at least I hope so.
Changed the ethernet cable to the one I use for Appletv, this wire is not connected directly to the router, but via a switch. I also changed the USB cable from an Oyade I just bought to Nordost Blue Heaven. Maybe the ethernet cable or the USB cable was faulty, because now it has played nonstop for 4 hours straight.
Looks like Bryston was not to blame after all
Been frustrating troubleshooting, but now sweet music is again restored in my main system

Chris asked me to send you a bill for $1,500.00 for his time.

I have already wasted the company's time, probably more than once.

Me too, James should have a medal for his patience

Not many CO would do what he does on this forum, thats one of the reasons we love Bryston.
Happy to report that BDP3 and BDA3 have played flawlessly since I changed the cables, who says cables doesn't matter

Looks like I was quick to believe trouble was over

Today same problem, but now I can't even choose USB in service menu.
USB light is green on BDA3, but not "lock" light, and of course no sound.

Hooked BDP3 up in my other room to McIntosh C2600, here I can use USB again.
Maybe problem is BDA3?? I try to upgrade firmware this weekend.

Have you tried just power cycling the BDA-3? also the BDA-3 has multiple USB inputs and the BDP won't see it if the BDA isn't on the correct USB input. Is it a BDP-Pi? The BDP-Pi needs to be rebooted to see a USB DAC.

I have BDP3 and BDA3, and have had some problems lately with dropouts in ROON mode.
Small static pop and no sound when using USB.
If you read my earlier posts I try to explain what is happening.

Is there a preferred USB input on the BDA (to connect from the BDP) or are you referring to the selection of the switch/button on the front?

Xinon · « **Reply #389 on:** 6 Jan 2018, 11:08 am »

So, take away power on both BDA3 and BDP3, hook together and power up.
Play music for about 1hour, small static pop and no music, did not skip song just playing from playlist!
Everything still looks normal in BDP3, but no sound, what do I try next?

Hi Xinon

Maybe Chris could connect remotely an see what is going on.

That should be fine - just have to wait for Chris to see this.

No luck in updating BDA3, maybe the old model with wrong Bootloader.
Restarted everything now, if it stops playing I set in service mode again.

Is this a BDA3 from early 2015 with old Bootloader?

Ok leave it in service mode and I am sure Chris will get to as soon as he sees this.

I will email him as well.

Is anyone using a digital processor between their BDP and their DAC?

I'm considering a BDP-1 for my main system, and my digital signal chain would be as follows:

Bryston BPD-1 > AES/XLR > miniDSP DDRC-22D (re-clocks all incoming signals to 96/24 for Dirac Live processing) > Coax Digital > Esoteric SA-50 DAC

Does anyone know if this would cause any issues?

Also, is anyone using a router/wireless extender that's connected to wi-fi to hard-wire their BDP to Ethernet? I don't have hard-wired ethernet running into the room my main system is in.

I use a Netgear AV200. Works perfectly with my BDP. Runs through a wall outlet and ethernet CAT cable from my BDP.

I have a Lyngdorf DPA-1 between my DAC (Gungnir) and the BDP-1. BDP-1 -> AES -> DPA-1 -> Coax -> Gungnir.

DPA-1 doing crossover, RoomPerfect processing. Sounds supercallifragilicious.
