T.H.E. Show Newport 2016: Source Devices

It’s always fun at audio shows to watch how the choice of source devices evolves. At T.H.E. Show Newport 2016, the source devices of choice were computers, record players, and half-inch analog tape. I’m sure there was a CD player somewhere, but I didn’t notice it.

Here are the most interesting developments in source devices I found at the show, with the products arranged in alphabetical order by brand and all prices in USD.

Without looking at the logo, I bet exactly zero audiophiles would guess the BDP-π is a Bryston component, because it’s sized more like one of those inexpensive little phono preamps. The BDP-π is a digital music streamer that Bryston says outperforms the much larger BDP-1. It can pull files from USB drives and sticks or networked hard drives and computers. Because it has a built-in Web server, you can browse files through any device that’ll run a browser, including smartphones, tablets, and computers.

The back panel has coax and optical outputs said to handle PCM in resolutions up to 24/192 and an HDMI output with capability of 24/48 now, and expected 24/192 capability with a soon-to-come firmware upgrade. DSD capability is expected, too.

Price is projected at $1200.

Lots of well-proportioned bass, with control for days, distinguished this all-Bryston presentation.

The lower range was superbly filled out on Lucinda Williams's "West Memphis." Ditto on a track from Emmylou Harris, although cymbals were a bit hot.

Add to that great bass and bit of sizzle on top—plus fabulous three-dimensionality on music from Supertramp—and you've got the best system I encountered since show's start for filling out the bass line.

The winners: Bryston's DDP-2 digital player, BDA-3 DAC, BP26 preamp with MPS-2 power supply, 7B3 Cubed mono-blocks , and Bryston Mini T loudspeakers. The latter can be either single or bi-wired; Bryston chose the latter, with StraightWire cabling.
