Sound Upgrade from a Bryston Bdp-3

Thanks for info

It very well might be worthwhile to audition Qobuz just to see if that makes a difference.  Cheers

I’m using USB between my BDP-3 and Esoteric K-05XD. Everytime I switch input I have to switch off the streamer and then switch on again. The system is Linux based and with USB is important to be turned on AFTER the DAC. According to Bryston this will be avoided with AES/S/PDIF.  ”SPDIF doesn't rely on drivers and proper boot sequence like USB does”. I will try a SPDIF cable instead of my current USB connection to avoid the hassle.

Thanks for the reply guys

Very Helpful

swede58, have you had a chance to make this comparison yet, between the USB and SPDIF connection? I'd be interested to know if you heard a difference.
