Sound Upgrade from a Bryston Bdp-3


Have a Bryston Bdp-3.

Like to get something with different sound as it seems to be tilted to the upper frequencies when using Tital. Running thru the the Bda3 Dac

How would a Lumin U1 do.

Replies please

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.

 

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.
