Since my posts in April, I have had a loaner BP-26 in my system while the BP-17 cubed was built (some COVID delays) - both with on board phono stages and both with outboard DACs.
So, the BP-17 cubed is extremely silent in my system with no inputs on (very faint white noise, with ear at tweeter), some minor hum at max volume (ear at tweeter).
Muting works without any pops (XLR connections to Bryston cubed amp).
The headphone drive does very well with Audeze LCD 3's.
The BP 26 was also very silent. I do like the very fine volume adjustment on the BP-17 at lower to mid volume setting. I did like some of the toggle switches on the BP-26 though. Retro cool.
