James...In TAS' original review of the BDA-1, I believe Alan Taffel suggests that the sonics of the BDA-1 through the USB input was less than satisfying, while raving about the sonic qualities through digital coax inputs. Here is one quote from the review:

Thanks and congrats on the great run recently with your latest products. |

James...thx for the review. It appears the reviewer at TIE used the BCD-1 as transport with the BDA-1 for his evaluation (and hence was accessing the DAC through the SPDIF connection presumably). So not to harp on my post above but I guess do you agree with Alan Taffels assessment of the BDA-1 through USB? And if so, any plans to address it in subsequent version releases? Thanks very much.

Hi,
I agree that the best sound available on the BDA-1 is with a quality sound card into the AES-EBU or BNC connection. james |

Congratz on the well deserved acknowledgements James
On the USB front i find my Torus isolation transformer really pushes up the performance of that dac including on usb. Not sure where in the signal/component chain the benefits shine through, but the usb is picked up a few notches in regards to the sense of power in voltage drive .... seems to be lacking without the Torus. |

Just received Stereophile's Feb 2010 issue and the BDA-1 racked up another great review from Larry Greenhill, recommending it for his highest rating for Stereophile's "Reommended Component" list, presumably Class A. Congrats to Bryston once again.
