Ok, i see. Thanks James for taking time to explain. Appreciate that.
For me, it would make it a tempting offer, if this new BDP would be able to do what my Mac/pc now can do. That is, play internet radio streams effortlessly, play audio/video broadcasts like digitalconcerthall.com, etc etc, and play hdmi and DSD sources without all the hassle the user has to overcome right now.
Would make it even more tempting to have the current bdp, 1 and 2 , do those things, and still be able to use its sound-card to do its normal things....
In other words, please make the bdp mature on those things it cant do right now. Don't make it an even more niche product by leaving out the sound card, and in that way make it have even more competition and consequently a hard time surviving.
Seems to me Bryston needs to pump up the software capabilities instead of limiting the hardware.
just my 2cents.
cheers!

Hi Marius
The BDP2 still has all the benefits it has now over a computer - no moving parts - better noise floor - quality power supply - dedicated Linux operating system - no need to have the laptop running etc.
