Has Bryston given any thoughts to a DAC Streamer combined product. I am sure that with the way audio is moving and the products that Bryston has been introducing the last 7 or more years that a lot of people would use such a product. Because what I have seen on the market is most companies are introducing/producing one or the other, but not both. I would think that such a product would be a hit, because now you are covering both bases at once.

I made a similar request to James/Chris not too long ago. In the meantime I made my own to hold me over until they come up with something. I used a raspberry pi b+ (https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/model-b-plus/) and a hifiberry dac pro (https://www.hifiberry.com/dacplus/) with volumio (https://volumio.org/) works perfectly using via plugplayer app on my iphone with my BDP as the media server and the hifiberry running volumio as the renderer. Final cost was less than $150 bucks for everything including a case and power supply.

I think that would be a worthwhile product

Cool! How did you put it all together? Could you show some pics, I'd like to have a go at that too, just for the fun of it alone.
Cheers,

Wasn't too bad, hardest part was realizing the miniSD card i had was no good so i had to go out and get a new one. This video was helpful https://vimeo.com/104410779. Note in the pictures i currently have the power supply unplugged from the unit.

That's pretty cool, good on you for attempting the idea. How does it sound, hoes it stream ok?

[Pearlcfam]

For its specific purpose it sounds fine, even got thumbs up from my wife. The streaming works perfectly, it reads the BDP library and renders the output to the amp.

I see that Simaudio makes a device that Streams music and has a DAC in one housing with the same DAC specs as the BDA-3, it does have the display of the BDP-2
