I find the latest MPD, 0.19.12, with the recent firmware update, to be working fine with the BDP-1. I have had the BDP-1 since 2010 and there have been times over the years when I could become very frustrated with trying to get music to list and play, but since Manic Moose and recent firmware updates I have been much happier and get along just fine with the Bryston software. The only plea I would wish to make is for a built in link to Qobuz rather than to Tidal.
