James, Any idea if the music could be sorted by album in future updates?

Hi

That would be a Chris question - so far I think only by Artist.

Chris,
So how about it?
Will I be able to sort by albums?

Chris,

The feature already exists,  the video below covers how to use the feature and other things.

Is there any chance exasound e20 dac will work with bdp2 via USB?

Only if they ever release alsa compatible drivers

[jhameeh]

What is error 05? How will I solve this?

[unincognito]

Error 05 means the BDP has detected a power spoke in the line and is turning off its linear supply to protect it and the rest of the electronics.  Some power conditioners have been known to trip error 05 (over voltage) and error 04 (under voltage), so if the BDP is plugged into one try the BDP unplugged from the power conditioner.

Trying to catch under voltage or over voltage isn't possible with a multimeter due to the length of time they occur.  Essentially you would need an oscilloscope with an appropriate transformer to lower the voltage as to not fry your expensive oscilloscope.  Multimeters take a few reading every second and display an average, where an oscilloscope is taking millions if not billions of reading per second and displays each measurement taken usually in the form of a wave form.

As long as they use USB Audio Class 2.0 specs you will not need dedicated drivers.

The e20 dac is proprietary

Indeed.

Are there options for color of the display on BDP-2 like on SP3?

[drummermitchell]

Blue and green I believe.
I have the blu led's on the BDP-2+BDA-2 and mah 28's
For me the blu against the black face plate visually takes them to another level for eye appeal.

Cool! So the BDP-2 has a lit power button like the BDA-2?

[drummermitchell]

Yes both have the led right above the button,my flash on the camera is to hot for a good close up,
the flash thins out the blue  somewhat but gives you an idea.
But even this so/so shot the blu led's look 1000%better than the green against the black .

[jhameeh]

Mine is all green 

[R. Daneel]

Beautiful!! Thank you fellas!!

My BHA-1 and BDA-2 have green LEDs but I might just have the BDP in blue! Mine have silver front panels, though.

Hello!

I read in the opening post that BDP-2 will be ready for USB 3.0. Has this feature been implemented?

Also, I read on many occassions that BDP-2 is much faster than BDP-1 when loading times are in question. Can anyone give me an example? For instance, once the BDP-2 is powered on, how long does it take for it load your hard drive / USB key and how large is your drive?

Cheers!

Hi Antun

We have not incorporated USB 3 yet as we find it is really not necessary as USB 2 is 10 times faster than what is required to playback high resolution music files.

Hi Antun,

The microprocessor is 2-3 times faster in the BDP-2 then the BDP-1, to say whether or not this advantageous to your hardware configuration I can not say.  This increase in performance isn't seen everywhere, if something is already a "walk in the park" for the BDP-1 in the first place then the BDP-2 isn't likely to be any faster.  For example, reading the contents of a drive that is formatted as Fat32 isn't very CPU intensive in comparison to reading files off of a drive formatted as NTFS.  So where a BDP-1 might take 20 minutes to read the contents of an fat32 formatted drive, the BDP-2 will take an identical amount of time.  However if that drive is not fat32, but rather NTFS then the BDP-2 will take nearly half the time to read in the contents as the NTFS module is very CPU intense and will max out the resource.

Cheers,
Chris
