Hi James,
Had to fiddle around with several connections again lately, trying to connect it all to the Bryston rig as a centre piece of audiophile experience. 'Command centre experience' left out on me, and I had to make some difficult choices which sources to hook up on what amp/dac connection...
Though I realize the BDA's are already among the most 'connected' dac's available, I am in need of more than the current connections... Not all audiophile quality, but still, since the settop-boxes, airport express/appletv, tvtuners and hd-tv sets of this world get more and more sophisticated, and still use optical outs, I would love to have a dac that at least has some more optical in's. Is there any possibility in the future Bryston plan's? If so, might I also suggest again a second balanced out on the dac, to be able to feed both the Bp26 (or its successor ) and the BHA, without having to resort to a second best option of splitter cables/boxes, and their less than optimal audiophile qualities?
A second best option for the balanced connection could also be in a bp27... with a couple of extra balanced ins, but also a looped balanced out. Would really be a great plus compared to the current bp26.
Cheers,
Marius
