Just a comment that the BDP-2 with the new sound card really shines on cello music.
The Bach Cello Suites (Linn Records) in 192/24 is amazing! The sound is much improved compared to my BDP-1 (which had the same sound card as the original BDP-2). I need to re-listen to all my recordings. Truly impressed so far. mv |

One thing I noticed with the New sound card all my music has changed for the better. I need to listen to my library and give I more informative analysis. James, Bryston has kept me too busy for that. Ripping Cd's with the new Bot. New miniT's and now I'm thinking of an SP3

SUBJECT: Bryston IAD Sound Card TEST July 2015 Hi James We tested your new Bryston ‘Integrated Audio Device’ in our BDP-2 digital player against the old card on our ‘Cowboy Junkies Mastering Project.’ The exact same Cowboy Junkies Trinity Sessions file played out via AES/EBU of the original BDP-2 audio card into the BDA-2 D/A Converter with up sampling on. This was then recorded ‘analogue’ at 176.4khz_24bit using the DAD (Digital Audio Denmark) AX24. We then replaced the old sound card with the Bryston IAD and the exact procedure was repeated. The 2 files are aligned and phased match on parallel tracks and played, switching A & B between the two. No Contest, empirically proven, Night and Day Difference. As if a wool sweater has been removed!! The High frequency definition is outstanding, in fact, it is scary how rolled off the old card top end was. Slight improvement in bass transients. Sound stage was much more stable. Less sibilance on voice. Upper midrange was more open. Depth perception much deeper and wider (better resolution of high frequency reverb reflections) Congrats James Yours Truly Peter J.

MEMO: To All Bryston Customers
SUBJECT: Bryston BDP-2/BDA2 Review. July 2015 Hi Folks, An excellent full 4 page review on the Bryston BDP-2 Digital Player and BDA-2 DAC combo from UHF Magazine (issue 96 – Summer 2015) . Favourite quotes: 1. The ‘good news’ is that the Bryston DAC translated the digital signals into music of the highest quality. The ‘bad news’ is that…there isn’t any bad news. 2. The orchestral pieces had impact, a wide, deep soundstage and fine detail, and the kicker — Margie Gibson singing — was so human and nearby-sounding that it seemed to me that our reference DAC was outclassed. Digital conversion has come a long way. I would say that Bryston has caught the wave of the future. Email me if you want the PDF of complete review – jamestanner@bryston.com. |

The review states that the BDA-2 will decode and play DSD...is this a new development? I thought only the BDA-3 will decode DSD. Please clarify. |
