The Pearl's optical digital input for DAC mode only handles 96kHz max. The BDA-1 goes up to 11 (I mean 192kHz)!

Damn... The BDP-1 does not have an optical out. Small glitch in my plan.

Not sure why you need the optical out but there are optical to coax converters and they are cheap

Here is one example of such a device -  http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10423&cs_id=1042302&p_id=2948&seq=1&format=2

If you are going to get a premium digital music player like the BDP-1, which eschews convenience and network features for pure state of the art digital music playback, I'm not sure you would want to put a $12 converter (or other converter at any cost) in the mix.
 
While they may be fine for less critical applications like a cable box, the possibility of additional jitter and no guarantee of bit perfect output would be counter-intuitive to the purity of the BDP-1 device and signal chain.

BDP-1 with BDA-1

When will the BDA-1 be available with the new buttons to match the BDP-1 and are any changes planned for the LEDs (will the LEDs above the source buttons still be white when the unit is in standby)

It seems like this product and the DAC could be made to work with the MPS-2.  I realize that these are supposed to be stand-alone items but it would take the power supply out of both, and make for fewer power cords.  Probably too hard to make two versions of these (with and without an internal power supply), but I thought I would bring it up. 

One benefit of using these products with a Bryston preamp is that you can get some source switching that is not available on the BP26 -- for digital sources only of course.

James,

What media management program are you using to organize your library/hard disk for the BDP-1?

Hi gkot,

I have used Media Monkey most of the time but sometimes iTunes and Foobar as well as JRiver.

Hi James.

When will the BDA-1 be available in Asia?

And will you have a special package price for a BDP-1 & BDA-1 combo?

Its been a bit quite on this forum did I miss something.

Hi AGP

We started building last week so depending on when the distributor ordered you should start to see units in a few weeks. The combo idea is something we are talking about and I am thinking of a special price as you say for both.

Thank you for posting picture

What type of connectors are used for the trigger - will the production version use same connectors for trigger as amps etc

[James Tanner]

Hi Folks,
 
As you know we just started shipping our new BDP-1 Digital Player last week.
 
Please see attached first reaction from our very sonically picky distributor in Austria!

Hi James and Brian,

We just unpacked BDP-1 and we will connect it today later. It looks great.



 

Hi James, hi Brian,
 
I am just enjoying BDP-1 and really fantastic pure Bryston sound. Amazing!!
 
I also managed to control it over both PC and Iphone, I managed also to have access over mPoD. Super!
 
Yes, this new BDP-1 brings some new dimensions to the sound!

I can not await to show it to my colleagues.
 
Congratulation!! I think you will need to make enough qty shortly for all orders we will have.
 

Best regard
Edvard

Hi

The BDP and the CD player (optional) would plug into the BDA.
