Bryston BDP-1 compatibility

For you owners of the BDP-1 out there, can anyone tell me if you can use USB DVD drives with this Bryston?

I know Bryston wants to avoid the use of drives with "moving parts" because of noise or reliability issues, but storage of ripped music on DVD media instead of flash drives makes more sense to me due to the lower cost of media. I can also store DVDs with my CD collection, and read only media is all that is required for music, why pay for flash memory?

Unless there is some performance issue I am not aware of...

Hi DHL,

You should probably check with Bryston to be sure, but I suspect that the answer is no. DVDs containing music files or other data have a very different format, data structure, and file system than hard drives and flash memory, which are what the BDP-1 is specified to be able to work with.

Best regards,
