I had the BDP-USB/BDA2 stablemates that were well built and good performers . BUT ….and it’s a big “ But” …. The BRYSTON Manic Moose digital interface is mired in 15 year old technology the frustrated the **** out of me.Even 3rd party software apps like RIGELIAN were poor options compared to rival offerings .
I dumped them and upgraded to MOON by SIMAUDIO streamer / network player / DAC
My take
The MOON 280D MiND2 was a clear and not insignificant step up in both it’s audio performance , and , it was also blessed with a digital interface that was a flawless and an EZPZ breeze to step up in functionality and operation.
BONUS: An unmatched warranty & trade-in / trade-up program.
(1) Their 5 year warranty is upgraded to 10 years for free if properly registered to first-time owners,
(2) Dunno if you wanna settle on a particular model? Then think about what MOON offers as a full purchase credit toward a new unit upgrade in the 1st year , and a 75% credit for an upgrade in the second year,
Google the reviews . Here is one:
