Bryston BDA-3

Thanks milpai  The first link is actually referencing the second.  the google translator doesn't seem to work to well for me, but thanks for the link.

Does anyone know if Bryston intends to add MQA support to their DACs?  I would hate to by the DAC 3 only to find it was added the next week...

Thanks, Bill K.  Unfortunately neither reviewer comments on the HDMI input

Thanks neko that was interesting.  There seems to be an issue with a loud 'pop' at the end of tracks played in DSD.

Ok. I have my unit.  Every SACD or Blu Ray sounds better than via the OppoPlanar 105 DAC.   But...I can't seem to get native DSD.  Every disc played triggers the Bryston LEDs that say I am getting DSD over PCM.  I've got the settings on the Oppo to output DSD from SACD.  Any ideas?
  Migh 24/96 downloads also sound amazing when played from a USB stick via the Oppo.  My other DAC, the Mytek Manhatten, won't play these without a horrible grinding noise at the end of each track.
  Alas, the red book and  other digital inputs sound much better with the Mytek...looks like I will be using 2 DACs.

Yes, it's outputting DSD

Thanks, E.  My HD downloads sound spectacular on the Bryston, but the L.E.D. still lights up as DSD over PCM...
I know that you own the Brooklyn, E.  I've never had a chance to compare the Brooklyn vs the Manhatten, but as I've noted, the Manhatten clearly bests the Bryston in red book and my other digital sources ( for me, primarily, my Bluesound Vault 2).  If only Mytek would add HDMI inputs...The Bryston is enhancing my SACD, however, so I am going to keep both DACs and eat rice and beans for a while

I am using the Oppo 105 as a transport for both the Manhatten and the BDA-3.  I use the coax out to the coax in for the Mytek, and the HDMI out for the Bryston.  First I had to program the Oppo to output DSD from SACDs.
  I've had the Mytek for 5 months, and the Bryston for about 3 weeks.

@milpai 
i was auditioning the Bryston hoping that I would love it so much that I would sell off the Mytek.  When I had purchased the Mytek it made everything that it does play sound so much better that now my SACDs in two channel via the Oppo didn't stack up well against red book via the Mytek.  As I have said the Bryston helps the SACD and Blu Rays and it bests the Oppo for red book but the Mytek
still is superior --clearly--than the Bryston.
  It is a real stretch to own 2 DACs.  One consideration is the rapidly falling price of DACs.  The Mytek has lost 50% of it's value on the used market in the months that I have owned it.
  I also drive a 12 year old Honda Civic.  My friends laugh at me because my stereo costs more than my car.  I tell them that my stereo takes me to places that my car never will

Well Millpai, let me know if you attend Axpona, maybe we can meet for a drink or something 

Agree agree with all of the above, Rice.
it's hard to imagine the Mytek sounding any better....suspect the Manhatten II adds MQA and USB from a Mac, neither of which Icare much about.  However, I will contact Mytek about an upgrade, I can always use the Bryston as a pinch hitter.
one question for you--do you have any idea why I only get the DSD over pcm signal when my Oppo 105 says it is outputting DSD from SACD over HDMI?
