Delays for the right reasons are entirely acceptable. Glad to hear it has passed the JT test!

Hey James,

Great to hear that BDA-3 is ready to launch... Like a fine wine... :thumb:

And how does it compare to the BDA-2 DAC?

I've read there should be no difference in audio from the BDA-2 (for identical input types) and that there may be a slight improvement. Now that you're about ready to go to production James, can you comment on what (if any) differences there might be between the BDA-2 and BDA-3 in audio quality of PCM files?

Just wondering what the price of the BDA-3 is going to be, and whether the BDA-2 will be offered at a lower price point when the BDA-3 is launched?

An excellent question! All the replies I got so far suggest it is impossible to distinguish between the two but that might have changed.

James?

Hi

Yes the BDA-2 will stay in the line at the same price as unless you need HDMI and DSD capability there is no need for the more expensive BDA-3.

Hi James!

Okay, so that answers the question whether BDA-3 offers audible improvement over the BDA-2 with PCM programme.

Cheers!

Hi James,
Many months ago during the BDA-3 development I had asked whether the DAC would provide a Polarity Inversion switch. I was informed that this was the intent, but details were not yet available. Now that the BDA-3 has moved from design and testing to assembly, can you tell me whether in fact a Polarity Inversion feature is available, and if so, how it is implemented (eg. by BR-2 remote?)
Thanks.

I think it can be done in software from what engineering tells me but have not tested it yet
