Ok. Is it the BR-2 or will a new model be made?

Hi

The. BR 2 will work with some functions but we are looking at a dedicated remote as well

Just placed my order for the BDA-3 at Lyric HiFi in Norway! Hope the remote will be avalible soon.
I'm really enjoying my Bryston products and the service provided! Thumbs up!

Hi Folks,

First BDA-3 manufactured!

At home for a final test run and will have on demo at this weekends audio show in Toronto.

Let me be the first to say CONGRATULATIONS !!!

Time for a dedicated BDA-3 thread.

Good idea regarding a new dedicated BDA-3 thread. I'm anxiously awaiting comments on its performance level and expectations are set very high. Hoping that it's a legitimate competitor for some other top flight DACs, even those at much higher prices.

Congrats James.
Is the new BDA-3 smaller in width than the BDA-2?
From your picture it looks smaller when sized against the BDP-2.

Oops I forgot
19" rack mount and standard 17" versions

Congrats! Glad to see it out!

And it can be controlled via a web interface, like the SP3? Just double-checking because I want to switch my remote system from UHF->IR to ethernet.

HI James,

Since you increased the height of the BDA3 to position the HDMI board: is the the BDA3 the same size as the BCD1? yet another size and form factor let alone on a single machine, sets new challenges in the cabinet....

Cheers, Marius

Hi James!

That's splendid news!

It would perhaps be a good idea to think about a bigger display, the same gorgeous flourescent one used in the BDP-2 perhaps?

Also, I would very much appreciate it if it could have an RCA coaxial SPDIF digital output instead of a BNC, at least as an option.

Cheers!

For those interested, here's a link to a Stereophile report from TAVES which mentions the BDA-3 and includes a nice shot of the interior. http://www.stereophile.com/content/taves-2015-deutsch-report-part-1#TX1bwmbLmTqkluAl.97
