| Berkeley vs Bryston vs Lampizator @audiotroy I have the original Manhatten. I guess I should contact Mytek about an upgrade but I'm so happy with it that I haven't bothered | |
| Dac from mid range to cost no object DACs that do SACD are rare beasts. I own the Bryston BDA 3 which has HDMI inputs. One needs a transport that that can output DSD from the SACDs and I use an Oppo 105. The transport should be figured in the cost. The Bryston is good with Redboo... | |
| How old is too old for a Dac? OP- that is a great question.Digital, and in particular the DAC end of things, change so fast. I've just invested a bundle in 2 DACs and they both are supposed to be upgradable via firmware updates. Hopefully that keeps me sane for a while | |
| Tidal and Streaming player Yamaha and other AVRs have their own streaming/whole home applications similar to Bluesound. It may depend on the other needs in your system. If you need or want an AVR, you might consider them. I have a Bluesound Vault 2 in my 2 channel system... | |
| Packing up my CDP...bittersweet CDs are 'digital music ' | |
| Berkeley vs Bryston vs Lampizator I've owned the Bryston for about 3 weeks now but I can't comment on the Berkeley or the Lampetc. I currently and am using 2 DACs--the Bryston for SACD and Blu Ray and the Mytek Manhatten for everything else. The original plan was to sell off the... | |
| Sony UHP-1 experience? Sorry to hear that, Chris.However, if I were to buy the unit, I would be using the digital outputs, essentially just using the Sony as a transport. Can you give us a review based on the digital outputs? After all, the unit goes for around $300, ... | |
| Bryston BDA-3 Agree agree with all of the above, Rice.it's hard to imagine the Mytek sounding any better....suspect the Manhatten II adds MQA and USB from a Mac, neither of which Icare much about. However, I will contact Mytek about an upgrade, I can always us... | |
| Bryston BDA-3 Well Millpai, let me know if you attend Axpona, maybe we can meet for a drink or something | |
| Bryston BDA-3 @milpai i was auditioning the Bryston hoping that I would love it so much that I would sell off the Mytek. When I had purchased the Mytek it made everything that it does play sound so much better that now my SACDs in two channel via the Oppo didn... | |
| Bryston BDA-3 @milpai I am sorry for the confusion.The Mytek can not take SACD, as noted. I am comparing the SACD decoding of the Bryston vs the SACD decoding of the Oppo105When I reference comparing the Mytek to the Bryston, I am refering to non SACD replay, ... | |
| Bryston BDA-3 Thanks, E. My HD downloads sound spectacular on the Bryston, but the L.E.D. still lights up as DSD over PCM...I know that you own the Brooklyn, E. I've never had a chance to compare the Brooklyn vs the Manhatten, but as I've noted, the Manhatten... | |
| Bryston BDA-3 I am using the Oppo 105 as a transport for both the Manhatten and the BDA-3. I use the coax out to the coax in for the Mytek, and the HDMI out for the Bryston. First I had to program the Oppo to output DSD from SACDs. I've had the Mytek for 5 m... | |
| Bryston BDA-3 Yes, it's outputting DSD | |
| Bryston BDA-3 Ok. I have my unit. Every SACD or Blu Ray sounds better than via the OppoPlanar 105 DAC. But...I can't seem to get native DSD. Every disc played triggers the Bryston LEDs that say I am getting DSD over PCM. I've got the settings on the Oppo t... |
