Bryston-Pi - Pic.jpg

Little Box Big Sound
Built upon the Raspberry Pi and HifiBerry platform, the new BDP-Pi is faster and more capable than our classic BDP-1 yet fits in a chassis 1/3rd as wide as our full size gear and costs less than half of a flagship BDP-2.

Connect
Virtually any DAC can be connected via the on-boardS/PDIF and Toslink connectors. Also, get ultra high resolution by connecting a USB DAC. You can even connect audio through HDMI.

Your Music
Connect an external USB drive containing your music library, stream your favorite internet radio stations, and enjoy lossless TIDAL streaming all on the BDP-Pi

Looks interesting. Is any S/PDIF BNC? Is power supply IEC connection?
 
Thanks James. Seems like it won't be for me. I currently have BDP-1.
 
Hi Folks,

Here is a picture of the Bryston Pi Digital Player internals with the modifications we have implemented:

Bryston Pi Mods

1. Power regulator circuit that accepts 7-14 volts, AC or DC from a 2.5mm barrel connector. This circuit also contains over voltage protection/indication and under voltage indication. Indication is provided by a rear mounted LED and the brightness can be adjusted by way of a pot mounted behind the LED.

2. Bryston output stage for a clean strong signal and impedance matching.

3. The HiFiBerry Digi+ circuit, based around the Wolfson WM8804 digital interface transceiver.

4. Peripheral connector for display, buttons and IR receiver.
 
Is there any update on when this will hit the streets (specifically the UK in my case), and what the RRP will be?

Thanks for any info.

Hi Whaleblue

Great news from Bryston one after another Mr. Tanner.

On Sound quality terms alone, where does Pi sit around bdp-1 and bdp-2?

Hi

I have not had a lot of time with the Pi yet but I would say sonically it is close to the BDP-1 and sometimes in the A-B tests I do get fooled as to which is which. It is a lot faster though so the basic day to day functions work better.

Hi James, I've no order in - a UK price would help!

I'm actually in the process of ordering a B135cubed and BDA-3 (in black - please hurry the new 135 faceplates along!) through Paul Clark (incidentally, one of the nicest chaps in the HiFi retail business I've had the pleasure to deal with :) ), so it may not be a possibility to add a BDP of any sort to the budget right now. However, I am potentially interested in the BDP-Pi, or alternatively I might save for longer and hope a BDP-3 is in the offing?

Well thank you - we should have the new faceplates in a few weeks.
