Hi John,

no need to remove the sd card to get a copy of the firmware, we make images available on our support page at support.bryston.com

http://support.bryston.com/downloads/BDP/Manic%20Moose%20Sources%20R4.pdf

This document typically gets updated whenever we update the images.

Thanks Chris, that's very helpful indeed.

My BR-20 is due to arrive next week.

Hi Folks - got this just now - 2 AWARDS in one day !!!

[Sam S]

Hi,

I would like to try DSD256 on a USB SSD on the BR-20 to see how it sounds.

Any suggestions on an SSD drive?
Brand?
Speed? Does it matter?

Does it need to be powered if all I have plugged into the USB ports is the SSD drive?

From the manual the BR-20 will automatically scan the drive and I'll be able to use the built in player to play the files. Accurate?

Any pitfalls I need to be looking for?

Thanks for any information and suggestions.

Sam

Update:

Loaded an album on a SSD.
DSD 4X=Yellow
Source1=Yellow
Lock=Flashing Red
Not sure why Lock light is flashing red.
Seems to be playing in at the proper resolution.
Sounds Fantastic!

Any help appreciated.

Update:

Powered up today and it’s working fine.

i wasn't able to find the specs, but i recall james saying that the usb port can put out about 500ma -- not very much.  if you're going to connect an ssd, i would power it independently (even though it seems to work without one).  of course, with a thumb drive you could just plug it in and go (it would just be slower, but could handle dsd).

Just a quick question. How are we doing with Manic Moose’s replacement?

Hi,

I'm trying to get the HDMI board for my BR-20 but the dealer told me still not available, I've been waiting for almost a year, just wondering Bryston won't supply the board only or need to ship the whole unit to Bryston for installation?

[James Tanner]

Hi

The boards we get from MDS and they tell us end of July.

Hi James,

I can only ever see the first page of these types of postings. Where can I find the full length format?

Thanks,
