Hi

Yes the source is not sending a signal for some reason and the BDA3 is loosing lock. With sources that do not default to no signal there is no issue.

Seems like the sources are sending signals, I hooked them directly to the TV and then everything is ok.

What was the issue?

One of the ribbon cables connected to the HDMI board was quite loose.
Hooked it up again - and now all seems to be working perfect again.
How the cable got loose is a little odd, since the BDA-3 has not been moved around after I got it.

But thanks again for your help.

Hallo James, when could i expect to get my BDA3 that i ordered in late January? According to the sales man it should have left Bryston early in February.
Best regards Raimo.

Best regards Raimo.

Hi Raimo,

I think you're gonna like it!

Raimo · « **Reply #735 on:** 9 Mar 2017, 07:38 pm »

Now it has arrived to the shop and will be shipped to me tomorrow. I am very excited to hear it

.
I really like the BDA1 specially in combination with the 4B3, with my 4BSST it sounded more harsh.
My old reference player Pioneer DV668 was often a better match with the 4BSST depending on the recording.
I really hope and think that the BDA3 will outperforme both of them.

Congrats and do keep BOTH DACs. I find the BDA-1 has that analog-like mojo and superb soundstage that are irresistible for PCM files.

Nothing succeeds like excess.

Haven't heard the BDA-3, don't plan to, either.

It was years between my auditions of the BDA-1 and the BDA-3 (tough to compare based on memory) but I can say your description of the BDA-1 having an analog-like mojo and superb soundstage applies to the BDA-3 as well.

Sadly, after almost $1600 of unexpected repairs to my wife's car, my order of a BDA-3 has been delayed for a few more months

More the reason for me to stick with my beloved BDA-1 !

Hope you eventually get to do the -3. WAF or no WAF.....

Does the BDA-3 have ARC?
Today, watching a blu ray (Oppo) with sound on my stereo, I have HDMI to the tv and optic to my BDA-1. Watching regular or smart TV the sound is also sent optical to my BDA-1 from the TV. I am waiting for my BDA-3 and plan to run the blu ray through the BDA-3 to the TV, expecting this to be an upgrade. Will I still need the optical( or a second hdmi) from my tv to my BDA-3? My tv is ARC ready and I used to have a receiver accepting the return channel.
