Hi Chris,
I emailed you on this last week - I received my BDP-2 back from Bryston's repair. The Error 9 issue is resolved. However, the "pop" between DSD tracks is back, something that you resolved for me by updating through service mode a few months ago. My BDP-2 is in service mode as I leave for work - is there any chance you can take a look and update as needed?
Thanks so much!
David

Hi David

Chris is off sick but should be back soon. This is with a BDA3 DAC?

James - yes, BDA-3.

5.6Mhz DSD

Will the BDP-2 and BDA-3 combo play back 5.6Mhz DSD. I recently order Bill Evans "Some Other Time" from HDTracks, but the contents of the file will not show up in Manic Moose when loaded onto the internal hard drive of the BDP-2

Hi David

The BDP-2 will play DSD 64 and DSD 128.

Just to double-check - DSD 64=2.8224Mhz and DSD 128=5.6448Mhz. If this is the case, I should be able to playback the Bill Evans 5.6Mhrz file, correct? However, whenever I install the file it (thumb drive or internal hd), only the folder shows, no files - but the files (individual tracks) do show on my computer. Help?

Which version of mpd do you have selected under mpd settings? You'll need to select mpd 0.19.

Cheers

Chris,
Thanks - that is all it took. DSD 5.6 sounds AMAZING!

I have a question about my BDP-2. When I opened the BDP for mounting a SSD drive, I noticed that there are 2 fuses installed. Could you explain why 2 fuses and do they have a different function?

One protects the standby power supply and the second protects the linear supply

OK thanks, when seen from the front, which one is for the linear supply?

I ask this because I am currently trying different Audio-grade fuses in the BDP-2 (and BDA-2). But I have only one fuse of each type. Which one of the fuses in the BDP-2 is most relevant while playing music, F1 or F2?
By the way, the fuses with so-called Quantum Chips, like Hifi-tunes Supreme, really dramatically do mask details in the music... definitely not a good match for BDP-2! Preliminary results indicate that the Furutech fuses (without Quantum Chips!) are better in that respect!

Hope someone from Bryston can answer my question!
Regards, Gerard

Hi,
I believe that is a personal choice that you as a listener Nee to try and see what sounds best with your system.

Many variables, which makes it fun.

Expectation bias should kick in with a vengeance, about now.

Of course.

But like any placebo, the experience itself is real. If you experience an improvement and it is worth the money you spent, enjoy.

Ok, Bryston may be far ahead of me, but how cool is this...!
Thanks to Mafico I'm testing this setup in direct comparison at home.

BDA1+BDP1+Lg fake BOT1 versus BDA2+BDP2+BOT1 (the real one..)

Thank you Bryston/Mafico !

Cheers Marius

Looks very nice! Throw in the BHA-1 experience as well in the bag. I'd love to hear back.

zoom25 · « **Reply #1657 on:** 31 Oct 2016, 04:38 pm »

I've seen people mention changing fuses recently for the BHA-1 as well. I didn't know fuse rolling was a thing. I'm so confused.

^ I just put on blinders and enjoy the musik.

I'm also finished with the application of esoteric fuses in my BDP-2 and BDA-2. They have a influence on the sound for sure but, when you have an allready well tuned audio system, the changes are not necessarily an improvement. In my system it is not an overall improvement, so I leave the original standard fuses in place!
But i am a little disappointed that the Bryston guys apparently refuse to answer my question about the two fuse in the BDP-2....
