I understand the proximity-issue in the USB interface. I think. to be honest I would have thought that either the front or back panel, would be just as far away from the receiverchip, since it is a rather small box your designing.

By the way, I did not mean to ask for a replacement of the backpanel usb-port, just an extra frontpanel usb port, to enable easy hooking up of a mobile computer. With a usb-port only on the backpanel, that is just that bit more uncomfortable.

But, as always, lets opt for optimal Bryston sound.

Have you considered the DSD-option in the BUC-1?

Thanks

Hi Marius,

OK I think we are confusing the BDA-2 DAC vs the USB Interface.  With the USB interface you want the USB connector to be as close to the USB Receiver chip as possible.  In the BDA-2 DAC you want the USB circuit to be as close to the DAC as possible.

Hi Marius,

The USB Interface is not a small box - it is 1/3rd the size of the BDA-2.

oops, sorry James. No offence meant

Hi Marius,

None taken sir - it is just I want to make sure customers understand this in not your typical pencil shaped USB powered interface.

Is this the chip in BDA-1? - http://www.cirrus.com/en/pubs/proDatasheet/CS4398_F1.pdf

Yes it is. And it is DSD capable as it seems (although I'm not electronic chips expert).

these might be an inspiration for the Bryston USB interface: http://www.chordelectronics.co.uk/products-info.asp?id=74 and http://www.chordelectronics.co.uk/products-info.asp?id=85 both able to play DSD over Usb.

fingers crossed,
