Hi All,

I am facing an issue on my BDA3 when changing tracks from PCM to DSD (and the other way around too): there is a loud pop from one speaker. input is USB from an external streamer. if the tracks are on a playist, no problems at all.

never had issues when input is HDMI instead.

any help? firmware is updated to latest version (early 2018 if I'm not wrong).

thanks in advance!

Hi Grant,
What streamer are you using? There is a good chance it is the USB Driver.

you'd think there would be an automatic muting circuit following the source selector circuitry

Hi,

I am using an Aries G1 connected with USB on BDA3.

Thanks

Firmware up to date? I had the same problem when upsampling in HQPlayer through a Sonore MicroRendu, Linux Kernel had to be updated. Have not had a problem with my BDA-3 since.

[Grant Hill]

Both are updated to the last version... it’s the first thing I did when the problem started..

[Grant Hill]

Gents, I don’t know why but the problem it’s solved... yesterday it stopped doing the bop when switching to Dsd files... I now hope it will not come back to the previous situation

Do we ever have to do any updates to the BDA3 if everything works.  I guess are there updates that come out and what do they do

Hi all,

Happy camper with my BDP-1 and BDA-1, which (after a bit of a struggle) now happily play roon. Am considering and upgrade to BDA-3.
two questions if I may:

Is there a BDA-4 in planning?

Would the BDA 3.14 be a better idea compared to keeping the BDP-1

Hi Bob

No BDA-4 anywhere in sight.

Yes I would go with the BDP3.14 it has much more computing capability and has the BDA-3 DAC as well. Works great as a streamer as well.

Just set up a Chromecast attached to an HDMI port on my BDA3. Now I can listen to Spotify, SoundCloud, YouTube and other apps in better quality sound and not have to use a PC.

Hi Silver

Can you give me more details - I was thinking of experimenting with Chromecast myself.

Hi James
Nothing special, just plugged a Chromecast straight into HDMI1 and the power into a power point. I’ve got a couple of other Chromecast units plugged into TVs so it was simply a matter of using the Google Home app to set it up. If you haven’t used it before, you need to download the app, change your device to connect to the Chromecast wireless signal, change the Chromecast WiFi to your home WiFi, finish the install, connect your device back to your home WiFi and you’re set to go. I did have a little hassle connecting YouTube (couldn’t see the Chromecast to cast to) but a reboot of the Chromecast fixed the issue. I’ve only tried YouTube and Spotify so far but they work fine. I use Spotify to stream as here in my part of the world, not all streaming apps are available and my internet connection is poor.

I’m thinking of using a USB port on my BDP2 to supply power to the Chromecast so it powers down if I turn the system off. That’s the kind of thing I’ve done with the others by using a USB port on the TV that the Chromecast is plugged into.

Early morning here so I haven’t turned the volume up to hear what it sounds like properly, only enough to hear that it works. I’m hoping the BDA3 works it’s usual magic.

Cheers

James, I missed saying one other thing, during setup the Chromecast sends a code to the TV and google home asks you to check the code, I don’t have the BDA3 connected to a TV so I just assumed the code was the correct one and accepted it. Everything went OK obviously.

Thanks Peter - much appreciated.

Hi All

one simple question. Any of the HDMI inputs on BDA3 is HDMI Arc4?

thanks, have a nice day

With the BDA-3 and/or the BDA 3.14 can you view video through one of the HDMI inputs, while you hear sound from one of the either inputs, like USB.  For example, if I have PC on HDMI, can I listen to sound via USB?

According to the manual, yes. At least for the 3.14 this is true, I would guess the 3 would be the same. In fact, you can only get video pass through happening if you have a non-HDMI input selected...
