Hi James,

What a great product. The combo of the BDA DAC and BDP music server make my digital playback sound almost as good as vinyl. Amazing!.

So thanks for that.

Thanks Bryston!

There may never be a "better" moment to enjoy your music and equipment like when you add a new item to the system, and it makes you tap your feet and put a grin on your face, just because it's a bit better than what you had.

I received my BDP-2 and BDA-2 last week. I'm relegated to headphones for a while, and I just sent my BHA-1 to Bryston for a blue LED switch out, so I'm running on a lesser headphone amp, powering Audeze LCD-2's. My source is CDs ripped with dbPowerAmp to FLAC, stored on my Windows Home Server.

The transport was a Sonos (fantastic user interface, amazing WAF, nifty streaming options for background music). I got the BDP-2 connected tonight via BNC coax. I synched up a few songs to play simultaneously through the Sonos and BDP-2 at the same time. The Sonos is connected via RCA coax. It and the BDP-2 are going into the BDA-2.

I listened to 60ish seconds of a song on the Sonos, then switched to the BDP-2. It made me laugh with excitement, out loud. I'm not dramatizing. I really had a deep "ha ha!" laugh. It just sounds more like music via the BDP-2 than the Sonos. I hoped that's what I'd get, but I'm a skeptic, and I thought I or my system might not hear the difference others talked about.

Ha Ha! There's SUCH a difference. I didn't have to A/B to hear it. So much for the concept that digital sources are the same. Bryston, you folks are AMAZING. Thanks so much. Worth every penny, and then some!

Oh and BTW, for the cable folks out there (and I'm one of them), the Sonos got the expensive Transparent Audio digital cable. The Bryston got stuck with a $17 cable off Amazon.com, just to get me going.
