Hi James

If Bryston do indeed have plans for a new player any chance of putting the power button on the left hand side of the display away from the control buttons. Not too sure in the heat of the moment how many times I hit power off instead of play after loading a CD.
And yes a larger display always helps.

+1 for a Larger display!

Thinking of using the same display as in the SP3.

James,
Should I sell my BCD-1 now? LOL! 

[BrystonFan]

Thanks James,
Any chance this can be ready in time for a Christmas gift to self?

No it's a new drive we found and the DACs would be the new AKM.

James

That would be good news on both .

NO   - not sure we will do this new one.

NO   - not sure we will do this new one.

     But  if you do ( I hope) I also think the sp3 display is too big. What ever , when ever, please make it possible to turn it off optionally.

I think making "traditionally operating CD players" that directly outputs a disc's optically read information
might be a mistake . So, I guess the challenge would be for Bryston to come out with a disc player that
plays from some type of memory. (We "CD rippers" just feel lazy sometimes)

Hi Steve

Thats what the new BOT Drive we are working on will do with our BDP.

Hello James,

It has been a while since I'd seen any mention of the BOT-1 so I assumed that it was just "shelved".

So I'm guessing that the BOT-1 will output to the BDP via USB, will it only be compatible with the Bryston
players? (Sorry, we probably talked about this in the BOT thread, but like my Username on that "other" forum
I'm Old,   He,he,he)

Yes Chris is still looking at it and it would connect to the BDP through USB and offer listening through the BDP2 buffer or ripping to any attached drive on the BDP.

HI James,

though i do understand the raison d'être for the BOT1, i do hope you won't make playing a cd as complex, time consuming and multi action as ripping, storing waiting and finally playing a file on the bdp....

load and play, thats what we love about plain, simple, dedicated cd players no extra machine needed, just the bcd and Amps.

hope you're talking about 2 separate machines here.
