| Bryston BDA-1 DAC, any thoughts? Formosawest:Always wonder why folks reply to a 3 year old post, but since your comments are right in line with some current observations I have made, here goes.I have a Bryston BDA-1 and used it for a number of years, primarily because I had some ... | |
| PS Audio PWT software bugs Looks like this problem may be individual hardware dependent, although PS Audio tech support never suggested I return the unit so that they could swap drives and see if the problem persists. They just told me its a known issue and I have to live w... | |
| Do I need an external DAC to play my music files? What resolution your DAC plays back in depends on the file structure and resolution of your music files. If you have ripped a standard CD, they will most likely be 44.1K/16 bit. Some DACs will "upsample" this resolution to higher bit rates, and so... | |
| Parasound CD-1 I really do agree that Parasound makes equipment that is some the best for the money. I use JC1/2 amplification in my system. I also think the new trend to either memory type CD playback (like the new CD-1 or the older PSA PWT) or digital playback... | |
| dac to cdp quality ratio I think a DAC like the Bryston BDA-1 might help. I experienced some harshness in my system with B&W 803d speakers (those diamond tweeters can be very revealing, both good and bad), particularly with female vocals, when I had a CA 840 CD player... | |
| Top CD transports vs USB converter shootout In general I agree with the OP with respect to a general trend. Even though I have not experienced the rareafied air of the the big bucks products mentioned, it seems that digital sourced music such as bit perfect 44/16 has sounded better than the... | |
| Are there any DACs that can go low? Lets not forget that an analog turntable can produce some subsonic info that a digital source of the same recording will not. Sometimes added subsonics can influence the bass perception heard by the listener. Further, I believe a analog produced s... | |
| People buying Transports again? I am going AWAY from PCM transports. My recent experience with memory players and now a Bryston BCD-1 has me going to ripped source material, even though it will be an enormous amount of work to rip my CD library. And it is much more than convenie... | |

| PS Audio PWT software bugs Knghifi:Yes its a known bug and if PSA doesn't want to fix it, then the company (PSA) finds it acceptable by default. So why not mention it in a FAQ or the manual. According to Marcus the phenomena is repeatable but the actual delay causing the lo... | |
| PS Audio PWT software bugs Need to clarify my original post. Problem occurs if disc is playing and you "PLAY/pause" (not STOP) to hold your place in the track being played. This happens while I'm listening and the phone rings, for example. If its in pause for more than a fe... | |
| Is the Bryston BDP-1 worth $$$ over Apple TV YioryosThe new Bryston disc drive will only interface with the BDP-2, and is not compatible with the older -1.Got this from Tanner at Bryston the other day, as I am looking at aquiring a BDP (to replace a PSA PWT) myself. | |

| Top 5 Song Writers Of The 80's DaygloSo which of my suggestions is not a song writer in the 80's? Do they all have to be no names like Micheal Been (who the *** is that)?Agree with Mark Knofler, Joe Jackson. By 1980 Van Morrison's voice was shot. His best stuff was in the 70's,... | |
| Stole my wife's Clarisonic to clean records... Small quantities of alcohol are used to reduce the surface tension of the aqueous mixture and aid in wetting of the surface. If the wetting is poor, so will be the cleaning, no matter what surfactants are used.Please also recall the PVC and record... |
