Hello dsands!
The Bryston BDA-1 is still a very capable DAC. It’s only real limitation is that it’s USB input is limited to 48K. I had one in my main rig for years, and now have it in my second system. If you are not venturing beyond Spotify in terms of resolution, I see no need to upgrade. And if you do get into streaming CD quality or higher resolutions, the BDA-1 is still quite capable, especially via its coax, toslink, and AES/EBU inputs. Try streaming Tidal or Qobuz using a Bluesound Node or some such hooked up to the BDA-1's coax or toslink inputs and I think you'd be very pleased.
