BRYSTON BDP-1/2 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS THREAD

I thought the BDP does not support NTFS....or has there been a software upgrade on this issue. My software is 28/3/2011.

Hi VK

The BDP will play NTSF it is just that you can not write to it or copy files to it over the network like you can with FAT32.

James,

does it matter if a hdd is NTSF or FAT 32 regarding the performance?!?

Doesn't sound good, you are still intending to do a drive solution though?

Cheers

Hi Terry,

I am not feeling as pressured now about it due to the new BDP-1 software allowing for attached file memory.

Yes still looking at it but want to get the SP3 finished and on the market before I move on to another project.

Thanks James, nice to know it will be along.

Just wish I could afford an SP3

Cheers

James,

since the BrystonMax shows the sample rate of the songs I discovered that I have some files with 11025hz, 22050hz. these sample rates are under the limit of the BDA-1's sample rate (which is 32khz!?!). will I have to expect any playback problems? (probably I have some more files with different khz-sample rates which are below 32khz

, have to check that out!)

Hi Al,

Heres a shot of mine at home.

James, I read in a review of the bpd1 that stacking the bdp1 and bda1 (as u show in your system) is very bad for the sound. Any comments?

James,

i think this is a misunderstanding here. the question about how to stack the BDP/BDA came from JJC1 not from me. however, according to his postings i assume that he is a newbie and is probably not experienced enough with Bryston gear. i think that JJC1 really wanted to know what you have to say about stacking Bryston gear...
give him a chance to understand your first hand/first class advice about Bryston stuff...like we all want and need it

Hi al

Yes I knew you said a reviewer and I was being a smart ass but sometimes I feel reviewers stretch credibility a bit - I do not mind when they split hairs - it's when they quarter them I start to worry

James, on some of the pictures posted of the BDP/BDA, the LED lights are blue. On others, they're green. Is there a way to switch? All my equipment has blue lights, except the BDP/BDA which are green. Is there someway to change their colour?

Hi,

No sorry - they can be ordered in blue or green but can not be changed in the field. We are thinking of dumping Blue as the LED's are very difficult to find.

NO, don't dump the Blue's, least not until I have ordered everything......

Sounds like you'd better get that order in quick Alpha

It would definately be a shame if you had to discontinue the blue LED's James as they do look lovely, if I had my time again I'd love a 100% blue led Bryston system, I like caberxx's idea though of having a switch to change between green and blue, just so I could change to suit my mood

Cheers Vipers, I am saving hard, nearly there for the 4BSST2, but I am still trying to decide whether to go for the pre-amp before the power amp, to enhance the BDP/BDA combo. I may go power amp first as I still hope to pursuade James to do the right thing and have a high quality, simple pre-amp with HT bypass

Cheers

Hi James, I was just wondering if there is any update on if/when you may get back to the drive solution for the BDP?

Cheers
