Okay,

I have another question. When the BDP-2 is in standby mode, there is a faint high-frequency tone coming from it. You can hear it when you're close to the machine. It stops when the machine is powered on. I'm just wondering what it is.

Cheers!

Hi Antun

From engineering:
It is the switching power supply that is powering the front panel and needs to be on at less than 1/2 watt consumption to allow for remote turn-on. When turned on the switching power frequency changes as it is now powering the front panel.

So do all BP-2 owners have this faint high frequency tone coming from their unit on standby?

Not that I am aware off - first time I have heard of this.

Hi James!

BDP-1 produces the same tone, albeit a quieter one. I'm sorry to say but audiometric tests they performed on my hearing revealed I can hear frequencies of 22 kHz... It is not a blessing though.

Wow that's impressive - I am limited to 14 K

Well as impressive as it may sound, imagine being disturbed by a wristwatch ticking in a cupboard drawer in another room... I think you're good with 14 kHz since very few naturally occuring sounds go beyond. It is the experience that matters the most in the audiophile world and that you have plenty of

I'd just like to add that it's our best guess, it's the only thing that's on when a BDP is in standby

But nobody else can hear it?

Hi Antun,
You're sure it's not the BR2 remote? It has a known high tone when lifted.
Not at my bdp to test right now, but i must admit having sensitive ears not always is a blessing . One of the reasons I prefer my Bdp play from the Nas instead of the Usb  drives.

edit: sorry for the autocorrect incorrections...

That's exactly why I switched to an SSD... to stop listening to drive noise.

MEMO: To All Bryston Customers
SUBJECT: Bryston BDP-2/BDA2 Review.

July 2015

Hi Folks,

An excellent full 4 page review on the Bryston BDP-2 Digital Player and BDA-2 DAC combo from  UHF Magazine (issue 96 – Summer 2015) .



Favourite quotes:

1.   The ‘good news’ is that the Bryston DAC translated the digital signals into music of the highest quality. 

The ‘bad news’ is that…there isn’t any bad news.

2.   The orchestral pieces had impact, a wide, deep soundstage and fine detail, and the kicker — Margie Gibson singing — was so human and nearby-sounding that it seemed to me that our reference DAC was outclassed.

Digital conversion has come a long way. I would say that Bryston has caught the wave of the future.

BDP-2  S2.16

I'm probably the only nutcake that did this, but I'll ask anyway.  Has anyone made a Playlist with a name consisting of only numbers and a sign.  I have playlists of the various sample rates ie. 48, 88.2, 96 etc...  They are named 48-24, 88-24, 96-24 etc...  When I try to delete any of these playlists they move to the center, turn red but do not disappear.   Has anyone experienced this same phenomenon.

  Thanks, Rich

That's will be addressed in the next software release and is fixed in the most recent testing/beta release

Hi!

I hope this doesn't qualify like another strange question but I was wondering --

upon boot-up of BDP-2, it signals it's loading the system with 4 consecutive tones while the BDP-1 does it with just one tone.

There's one other thing - BDP-2 and BDP-1 seem to have different rear panels. Obviously, I am not referring to the number of connectors or their disposition but the way the rear panel is mounted. The BDP-1 rear panel is essentially the bottom panel bent upwards while the rear panel on the BDP-2 is attached with screws. Is this to make the construction more flexible in terms of expansions?

Cheers!

Hi

Yes we wanted more flexibility going forward.

James, what about the boot-up tones I mentioned in my previous post? Is this specific to the motherboard used - Intel vs AMD?

Also, I sent you a PM with my email address. If it isn't too much trouble, please send me the BDP-2/BDA-2 review from UHF.

Cheers!

HI - review sent - Chris can answer the boot up tones as I just assume its the new board - have you noticed how much better the 'start-up tones" fidelity is on the BDP-2

Q for James or Chris,since my BDP-2 got back and its sounding great(new sound card).
Seems I lost all playlists which is ok sort of,also when I make a list(not saved) and stop the BDP the whole list is gone.
before if I made a list(not saved)it would be there hour later or even the next day if I wanted to hear it.
Doesn't make sense to me if the sound card was changed that it would effect other operations.
hell I even upgraded to the new firmware today .
I won't get to excited at least we have tunes but WTF.
I even refreshed hoping that would keep the list...NOT.

The planet should only disappear if cleared, there are multiple ways multiple ways of clearing the playlist.  One which includes pushing the stop button twice in succession, could this be the cause?
