Hi James

Just a quick email to let you know that I have received my BDP1- unit number 296.

I have also upgraded my speakers to the B&W 804's.

So the audio coming through now is something literally incomprehensible.

I have also purchased the Ipad and am enjoying the seamless user interface with the unit through Bryston's onboard software, very snazzy, and impressive.

I have really spent some good money, but the audio detail has been rewarding, unbelievable!!!

I now need to get some flac files and will be doing downloading soon. Please recommend some listening material, like Daves True Story, Aint no sunshine, isnt she lovely, etc ....

I will then begin the review as discussed.

Thank you so much for your guidance.....

Please keep in touch ....

Kind regards
Kishan

Saw this, but I didn't download the magazine; GBP 12.50 for a single issue is too expensive for me.  :(

Hi klao,

I have some pieces of the review - these are the measurments and conclusion on the BDA-1.  The BDP-1 in combination with the BDA-1 is due up next I believe.

Good article in the May/June issue of Absolute Sound Magazine (page 52-60) dealing with the comparisons of 8 different sound cards. It appears the reviewer agrees with our choice of the ESI Julia@ card in the BDP-1.

Very smart front cover congratulations, Stereophile is almost impossible to find over here in the UK, I take it the review was very positive for you?

Cheers

I agree especially with Borders going bust.
I get mine by subscription.
They do good deals on the 1st two years.
Quality of writing is so much better than the UK comics.
One UK review of the Bryston BDP-1 tried to compare the BNC and XLR outputs but the guy used cables from different companies with quite different characterists.
As our US cousins would say, doh!

I will have a PDF of the complete review in a week or so I can send you.

Yes the review was very good.  The thing I liked about the review is the reviewer loved the sound (by the way the reviewer purchased the BDP-1 and the BDA-1) and the measurements by John Atkinson were state of the art and some fell below the Miller analysers threshold for jitter :thumb:

Also I recieved a very nice note from the reviewer saying ''thank-you for the digital education" I provided him and that he felt I was a very good teacher - so now I can die happy! :lol:

Wow, you must have thought it was Christmas  :D many congratulations again, but hey, I am listening to how good the BDP/BDA pair are right now, so no surprise really..

It was Larry Greenhill that did the review. John just listened to it as well and did the measurements. Not sure on the AD issue as that is our advertising agencies realm.

Hi Folks,

There are two more excellent reviews coming from major US magazines on the BDP-1 player and BDA-1 DAC combo.

I recieved this today from one of the reviewers:

James,

I have completed the listening tests (over the past several weeks), and got Chris Rice to help me yesterday with setting up my iPad to browse albums and play music wirelessly through my home network. All went perfectly, and this morning I ran the bench tests using the BDP-1 with the Bryston DAC that you included.  So now it is a matter of writing up the review.

I really don’t know how you guys are always able to keep distortion so low in your products (averaging about 0.003% in my tests).

I suspect their rating is one star short of full 5 because of "Against: No streaming; no DAC; no storage".  Good write-up on sonics.

Hi Kloa,

Yes they told me that and I said I am going to include in our British literature now a new category called "foot tapping factor percentage" :thumb:
