| 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... | |
| Running multiple wireless headphones? I assume that you are asking about blutooth phones. I like the B&Ws | |
| Looking at a new non-SACD player, but still own lots of SACDs Investigate the Bryston BDA 3 DAC. It accepts DSD from HDMI. Cost $3500 around your budget. | |
| Best standalone music server? The the Bluesound recommendations are what the Op wants. No pc required, great sound, the Internet Radio made easy | |
| Comparing these CD players with my gear... To the OPare you looking for other features? Do you want to play Blu Ray, or USB drives, or perhaps DVD-A? I know that CD is your priority, but you can can get a good transport, such as the new Sony Universal Player, discussed on other threads h... | |
| Sound quality of a Bryston BDA-1 vs the BDA-2 or BDA-3 I have the bda-3 but I bought it particularly for the DSD and have not heard the predecessors. From my reading of the forum and Greenhill's review in Stereophile, the 2 and 3 sound similar and the main difference is the HDMI. I also have the Myt... | |
| Standalone DAC player with SD card/USB flash drive slots My Oppo 105 has USB ports for playing flash drives. The internal DAC can be used from the player or an external DAC used. | |
| Bluesound Node 2 The Node is the earlier version. I doubt it sounds much different than the Node 2. The form factor is the major change | |
| Bryston BDA-3 @papaned great to hearI ordered mine around XMass and it isn't in yet. I also have an unmodified Oppo 105 which I currently using as a transport with the Mytek Manhatten for RBCD.. The Mytek has enhanced my system and now I would like to get mor... | |
| looking for an a/V installer- specialist in the Chicago/Hinsdale area. I agree with the AC recommendation. I have also used an installer in Hoffman Estates from Simply Stereo. Either one | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES owners question My wife is an excellent Registered Nurse, Grandmother, Cook, Quilter, and Home Decorator. Electronics completely flummox her. Do the other guys here similar experiences? My Sony is about 8 years old but I would describe as lightly used. It res... | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES owners question I am thinking of selling mine and getting the new Sony Universal Player my HT system to reduce the number of boxes. My wife keeps trying to play Blu Rays in the SACD player | |
| In wall vs regular speakers? In walls can be used for rears without much compromise since rears are usually for ambience and surround effects. I personally wouldn't want to rely on them for fronts and center, and an in wall sub makes no sense to me at all | |
| Another DAC recommendation It would be interesting to find out if a DAC upgrade would improve your present set up, but I suspect the limiting factor of your present system may be your speakers. Improving the quality of the signal entering the speakers won't help if the tra... |
