Bryston BDA-3


  I have a lot of SACDs.  I am therefore intrigued by this Bryston DAC, claims to decode DSD from SACD over HDMI.  I can't find any reviews of the product.  Does any one have any experience with it?

Nekoaudio,

Could you please tell us what R2R and Sabre DCS`s you compared the AKM4490 to?
Nekoaudio,

Thanks!  OPPO Sonica has the newest ES9038PRO Sabre DAC. Can you share any impressions of the sound?
nekoaudio,
I`m actually considering your DAC also. But I`m bit tempted of the $500 Denafrips ARES or DAC-64. It`s discrete R2R (0,01). The technology is same as in the very top MSB, DCS etc.
I need a small DAC for my Smart TV (8 series Philips optical out) it will probably put out PCM in stereo mode).

P.S. I`m 99% sure that none of these DAC`s better the d/a in my SA-1, but shootout will be a fun anyway!
