Considering Bryston BDA-1 for non-USB use

I currently own a PS Digital Link III and am considering the purchase of the BDA-1. I do not use the USB input as I believe in USB/SPDIF conversion as separate device. I need an additional SPDIF input for transport. Dac feeds signal to Jolida fusion then to BEL 100 MKV to Esoteric MG10s. Thanks in advance for any input.

Thanks Leo. I made a decision to buy one on AG. I currently use a hiface USB/SPDIF converter. I intend on upgrading from this one to another. I believe the USB connection represents the weakest link on many DACS.

Dhl, thanks for the response. I purchased a BDA-1 and very much like it. I also appreciate equipment designed with a competent power supply and analog output stage (within budget) hence my interest in the BDA-1. Though the BDA-2 has a different DAC chip, and the usb interface has been significantly improved I the cost differential would not be compensated. I prefer to use my own USB input device for computer based server. Still looking to upgrade from the HiFace.
