Hi Folks,

Got the HDMI input on the BDA-3 Prototype DAC playing SACD (without PCM conversion) from our OPPO player.

I have a feeling this DAC is going to be a crazy good product at any price. At $3500 or whatever it is, watch out.... ;-)

I love that it has 2 USB inputs and the HDMI inputs allow DSD from an Oppo 105.

I heard the BDP-2 and it was terrific. I can only imagine how much better this is going to be. Well done James & Co.

 

[Paul]

Awww Finally... Its smaller than previous version ? Is that means you will make another BDP as well that match the size ?

 

[James Tanner - Bryston]

Hi

Its the 17 inch version shown - the others are the 19

Congrats James! You've built a lot of flexibility on this DAC. Look forward to hearing it in the future.

For those interested, here's a link to a Stereophile report from TAVES which mentions the BDA-3 and includes a nice shot of the interior. http://www.stereophile.com/content/taves-2015-deutsch-report-part-1#TX1bwmbLmTqkluAl.97

James,

My initial impression is that the BDA-3 has followed the normal progression of the 1,2 then 3. This is a new beast. This has the same traits as the other processors but takes the music to another level. The detail is so remarkable. Every sutltiy is heard along with Bryston's usual bass. I feel like I'm in a concert hall. This sounds so real. You cannot tell your listening to digital. The cymbals just shimmer.

Last night I was laughing to myself that the hype said it's sounds like the BDA-2. No this is another significant improvement. The BDA-3 is in another league. Just like the new sound card in the BDP-2.

I wrote you so not to step on anyone's toes. Audio is to opinionated. I read some of the post and people cannot tell the difference between the soundcards in the BDP-2 and that's their propagative. It's the same when they drink the Kool Aid and claim there is no sonic difference between the BDA-2 and BDA-3.

You have another winner. Haven't tried the DSD. Serial # 000005...... James if you want to use any of the quotes be my guest. I figured I'd post more of a review in the future
