Thanks. The other one was too tiny on my laptop, even with my mega-reading glasses

Man,

I must have the worst timing ever.

Just received my BDP-1 and SP3 yesterday.

Opened it up, gave it a spin, and then came to this board and read about the BDP-2 

If I would have known about this I would have waited.

Hi James,

For my order I could still be just in time, my local dealer was unaware of the updated version or he would certainly have allerted me. Is the list price the same and can an order be switched from bdp-1 to bdp-2?

Also could you say a few words on the bda-2, its seems tot use a different dac chipset. Is there a sonic difference as compared to the bda-1, or just the high bitrate of the usb port?

Thanks,
bob

Thanks James, very interesting, does the bdp2 use the same sound card, in other words how does the sound quality differ, if at all?

Cheers

Ps we are going to need some new threads aren't we?

[klao]

Any or both of them (BPD2 & BDA2) do native DSD playback, James?

Hi Bob,

The BDP-2 is $2995 - vs the BDP-1 at $2195.

Yes it is a different mother board and different power supply as well (same sound card)  - it is really a beefed up BDP-1

The Chip set in the BDA2 is capable of DSD but the software is not done yet.

Bryston!!!!!!

I ended up visiting this room 4 times I think over 3 days...

Here is what I think. First, I think James did an excellent marketing coup by getting possibly the best room at the venue. Bryston, easily had the largest room and they had most if not all their gear there. Obviously, this was strategically done to launch their new speaker, and what a launch!! I am still awestruck by what I heard. These new speakers are simply sonically phenomenal. It will be hard to get a pair... I think Bryston may need to employ a new shift of workers... they are THAT good..

I ran into some people in a couple of other rooms..and in just mentioning speakers, I would ask if they'd heard the new Bryston speaker.. everyone I spoke to said.. AMAZING..!!

On a personal note, I spoke several times with James Tanner and I must admit I truly enjoyed our encounters, not having met James before and only relying what I had read here on AA, I knew he was quite the gentleman and a very down to earth individual, but words don't do justice here. It only took a few moments to be able to share laughs and just have a great time together...

Oh.. and today.. my wife was with me at the show.. and concurred these are indeed good... she jokingly said, the sound doesn't appear to be coming from inside a bucket!!!.. So these are WAF approuved!...

Ohh.. MSRP.... $6500..... A true STEAL.. get yours before the price... jumps!!! (just kidding James!!!)

This was for me.. the best of TAVES.. and fully deserves...

Hi.

Bad news for stereo-only music lovers, like yrs truly. There is NO, repeat, zip analogue stereo O/P jacks to provide HD stereo music for my all-tube stereo system.

Sorry I am not a movie fan nor a PC digital music goer!
