That would depend on whether or not they lower the quality when you do that. We havn't had all lot of request for xm, if we do develop for another streaming service beyond bRadio and Tidal it will likley be spotify.

Currently it seems to be the most asked for, along with pandora and deezer. We have already registered a dev key with spotify and compiled one of the demo programs called jukebox. It can be found in the manicmoose firmware under /3rd somewhere.

We use Rhapsody for radio-style listening, and I use Spotify for specific songs/artists. So we'd love to have those added. I could almost get rid of the Sonos and JUST use my BPD-2.

I wasn't as impressed with Tidal's "sounds similar to this artist"-type feature when I tried it last. And as of yet, I just can't justify $20/month/device from Tidal. I'd rather buy the CDs at that price. Maybe if Tidal was $20/household.

As per the Bryston website, the BDP-2 supports USB Output with software version S1.70 or newer.

Which rear USB port would used for USB Output?

Also, does the USB Output support DSD?

As a user who asked all these questions...

ANY USB port can be used..USB is a two way transmission scheme..

YES, for DSD...

You'll need to be running S2.10 or newer if you want DSD

I am successfully streaming Tidal through my wireless bridge and fit works very well.
I can stream tidal through ethernet cable from my imac in another room.
Is it possible through the BDP-2 to stream through ethernet from my iMac but control
the streaming menu wirelessly through my iPad in the same room as my audio?

unincognito · « **Reply #1227 on:** 1 Oct 2015, 10:31 pm »

The BDP firmware has a tidal app found in the applications folder

keithjacksontucson · « **Reply #1228 on:** 1 Oct 2015, 10:38 pm »

yes, thank you . I'm using the Tidal app.
just wondered you can play hard wired through the player while controlling the app wirelessly

Yes, that should work. I control my hard wired BDP-2 using my iPad or laptop.

I bought a second hand BDP2 in August and had nothing but trouble trying to get the Bryston music DB set up. Loaded firmware S2.18 last night and everything just works brilliantly now.

Complements my 4BSST/BP26/MPS2/BCD1/BDA1 perfectly, awaiting release of BDA3.

Thanks for the great equipment.

keithjacksontucson · « **Reply #1231 on:** 3 Oct 2015, 05:42 pm »

thanks BSMSPEMBA

when I connect the BDP by ethernet to my router i get IP address
192.168.1.246
My ipad won't connect to that IP address
are you using a separate router through the other ethernet port on the BDP
if not , what is your setup?

tdb4rdd · « **Reply #1232 on:** 4 Oct 2015, 12:51 pm »

I had the same problem. Wireless Access point and BDP must be in same network or both should be connected to same port on Router or Switch.

keithjacksontucson · « **Reply #1233 on:** 4 Oct 2015, 07:19 pm »

ok I figured it out finally
Ethernet cable from back room router into other router in audio room then other router ethernet output
into ethernet port on BDP-2.
Then log into IP address and music is streaming hard wired but controlled through 2nd router

I apologize for the delay in replying to your question about how my system is setup. Glad it is working.

MEMO: To All Bryston Customers
SUBJECT: BDA-2 DAC/BDP-2 Player – Customer Feedback

Hi James

It was a pleasure to met you at CEDIA....thank you very much for your time. I’m still in Miami but I-m sending you copy of Fernand Gozalez e-mail comments.

Best regards
Pablo

Dear Mr. Tanner,

These are not my first couple of Bryston units. In fact, I've been already quite impressed since I own your 4B-SST², and your BP-25P.

But these BDP-2 & BDA-2 are mind blowing.

I had been following their development ever since they were announced, waiting for the appropriate opportunity to purchase them. Living very far away from Canada, it's not sensible to take the odds ratio the easy way. Fortunately, Mr. Pablo Janssen helped me once again.

I've been getting acquainted with the BDP-2 slowly and carefully, now it's only 4 days I have both units at home. I'm reading the AudioCircle forum rather than asking. When in doubt, I email Chris Rice. His help has already been very important for me, and he has been quick and accurate and much to-the-point.

Seriously, thank you very much for developing Bryston products. I've been watching your company grow and develop with great success ever since I first read an ad of Bryston at Stereophile and at Audio magazines.

Sincerely,
Fernando.

Fernando · « **Reply #1236 on:** 19 Oct 2015, 06:11 pm »

Yes, it's me who wrote that _

Still in the learning curve !!

Oh! - and I do have some inexpensive upgrading ideas regarding the BP-25 and maybe for the BP-26 too

Cheers from Uruguay, for everyone here.

From a happy Bryston owner.

Currently it does not

It does Roon a little,... But, please please Bryston, integrate the Roon Speakers protocol in the BDP’s software,... Please get in touch with the Roon guys. Their software is just

Has the noise problem with the new IAD board playing Hi Rez music
on the PS Audio Dirctstream DAC been resolved?

soliver · « **Reply #1239 on:** 9 Nov 2015, 10:25 pm »

Skid,

For a consumer answer, i did the upgrade and have a directstream.

I do get distortion on 24 bit 196 stuff, not sure on 24/96, don't think so but anyway

Switching to my USB input on the directstream dac fixes the distortion versus aes/ebu

For me my aes connection is better both from a cable and sound side, but for $150 I have a decent shunyata USB cord that fixes this issue and allows higher DSD transmission as well (2x DSD max on directstream)
