I understand that the BDP is being covered in the latest issue of Hi-Fi Plus
Has anybody seen it yet?

Is scooted though it. it's pretty lousy review. The usual issues arise; it isn't a streamer, etc. And he actually said that the Naim Uniti(I think) sounded better.
The other issue is that it was written by Malcolm Steward. He who writes for
Hi-Fi Choice magazine. And he is a Naim man through and through.
At least his bias is clearly known.

Sounds mich like the writeup in Hifi Critic then, where it was slagged off for not being a Naim.
The guy who wrote the Hifi Critic article works or used to work for Naim.

Terry,

It's a shame that certain equipment goes to that type of reviewer.
We all have a bias, and I have no issue as long as it is obvious or clear.
But the 'this is better than that' type of review is poor and pathetic.
It does journalism no good, and it hinders the progress of peoples' passion.

Furthermore, if one doesn't 'get' the BDP-1 then put it down and go fetch an adult.

Hi Folks,

Apparently the review is out in this current issue of the Absolute Sound Magazine on the BDP-1 Digital Player.

I am getting a PDF of it done up so I should have it available in a few days.

James,

Excellent! The magazine isn't readily available here. Is there any possibility you could forward the pdf by email?

(I'm listening to the Beastie Boys at the moment. And their cheekiness is coming through very well)

I just received the September 2011 Absolute Sound that has the BDP-1 review. My favorite comment:

"With the BDP-1, Bryston has created a reference grade source component that merits comparison with anything at any price - a remarkable achievement. tas"

Congrats James

It is a great review and in addition the Cover has a statement about the BDP-1: "BRYSTON'S BDP-1 Revolutionizes Computer Audio".

Nice Feedback from the UK

Subject: Re: BDP-1

Gentlemen,

I have been loaned a BDP-1 to try by PMC, I have to say I'm mightily impressed with it so far.

I've been using iPeng with a Squeezebox Touch powered by a Terry Pardo linear power supply and I've applied all Soundcheck's tweaks to the Touch. I reckoned this was about as far as I needed to go until I heard the BDP-1 ….which just buries it.

A further comment I would like to make is that classical music, in particular the violins in orchestras have never sounded 'right' to me until I heard the BDP-1. Now they sound just as one hears them in a concert hall, plus the overall sound of this player comes across either with immense power or extreme delicacy as the music demands. I find it really rewarding to listen to, just like a good analogue source - and that's not meant as an insult!.

Kind regards
Richard
