Bryston BDA-3.14?

Another relatively new, feature rich DAC that needs a thread.
This thing seems to be a digital Swiss Army Knife.
Priced within reason.

But, the big question for me at least, how does it sound?
None of the other stuff matters if it doesn’t sound superb.
Feedback from users would be much appreciated.

I just recently got the BDA 3.14 and it's frustrating. It sounds great using the HDMI connected Oppo as a streamer and as a CD/SACD player.

But I was hoping to use it as a streamer directly. The Pi just does not work for me.The control application looks like it's from the 90s, wifi connection is unstable, keeps on telling me "lost connection", IP address changes and I'm unable to update the f/w. I wish the app would be like the OPPO Media Control.

So, for now. the BDA is just a DAC with HDMI inputs, which was the main reason why I got it. If anybody is willing to share their expertise how to use it as a streamer, I would be grateful. BTW, I emailed Bryston and got no response. No help at their web page either. Not many discussions active. Thank you.
