Chuck......Happy to hear the BDA-1 finally arrived, and is making music. Looking forward to a review once you have some hours on it.

Are both the MS300 and the MCD205 going through the BDA-1? I remember when I still had my MCD205, and got the MCD500. When I ran the MCD205 digital output through the MCD500 DACs, there was a huge improvement in the sound of the MCD205. Have fun.

Dan,

Right now the MS300 is connected via Optical, and the MCD205 via Digital Cable, because I forgot to order the new digital cable for the MS300.

After a few days of burn in I should be singing the praises of this DAC.
