Hi, just installed the new sound card, and haven't had a chance to really try it out. Have a couple of questions though: 1) Since DSD is only via the USB out, does the new card play any role? 2) can i leave both the AES and USB cables hooked up to the BDP2 and use my DAC (Auralic Vega) to select input based upon stream (DSD vs. other) or do I need to have only one hooked up at a time? Thanks in advance! Dave

No the new card does not affect the USB decoding. james |

I have recently upgraded the soundcard on my BDP-2 to the IAD. I think Mr. Tanner has undersold the benefits. Using the AES connection I find the sound vastly improved.
I have both AES and USB cables connected at the same time and switch inputs on my Bricasti M1 dac with no problems. I think the AES is superior and only use USB for playing dsd. |

Now you've got me thinking... I listen to a lot of DSD so thought maybe I could get away with just USB from the BDP-2. What AES/EBU are you using? For reference my system consists of: Speakers - Acoustic Zen Crescendo Preamp - ARC REF 5SE Amplifier - ARC GS150 Digital Bryston BDP-2, Bricasti M1, WireWorld Platinum Starlight USB Power Conditioning - Shunyata Triton connected by Alpha HC, Alpha HC - Amp Alpha Analog - Preamp Alpha Digital - BDP-2 Alpha Digital - Bricasti M1 Last edited by elem79; 04-13-2016 at 01:29 PM.
