I just got the MB50 streamer, you can bypass its DAC I believe. I like it, but I'm coming from a Sonos unit. Play Fi is a bit glitchy to be honest, and that's the downfall. When it works, it's great. I use it with Spotify. I tried tidal and qobuz and honestly, there's ZERO difference in sound quality so not sure why not to use spotify.

Another satisfied user of Bryston BDP here. Like John, I installed an internal hard drive but a 1 tb SSD. Ripping my CD in AIFF, I would need about 1750 albums to fill it. In FLAC, multiple this 5 times.

As good as the Bryston app is, I prefer to use Rigelian with my iPhone. Glyder seems very good too and it supports more streaming devices than Rigelian.
Serge-

I have wondered about third party apps such as Rigelian. My iPad being from 2011 with iOS 9... will not support it but our iPhone will. What do you prefer with Rigelian?

Thanks.

I agree it is almost completed.
U just need a wider carpet so u can spaced the speakers further apart to make it complete.

I always set speakers at 6 ft to 8 ft apart for stereo image.

John,

Sorry for long reply, just saw your message.

Rigelian is very easy to use, nicely laid out and intuitive. It is regularly updated. It works quite well on my iPhone SE but I think you will get the full experience on iPad. It’s 4.95$ per year to subscribe. When using Rigelian, it is completely in sync with the bryston MPD using the my.bryston.com interface. The real winner is to completely break away from the PC to control music. I have attached some screenshots using my phone so that you can have a look at it in action.

EDIT:
OP, I just realized me being off topic. Now back to regular programming.
