Bryston BDA-1 DAC, any thoughts?

i thought the music hall 25.2 dac was much better than the benchmark dac after changing the tube inside the 25.2. also, you have a choice of either solid state or tube output on the 25.2.

Well, recently I replaced benchmark dac with a modded Bryston BDA-1. Much better

Audioblazer,

If I may ask -
Who modded the Bryston and were you able to compare before/after sound? Difference with Benchmark?

I did not have a chance to hear it unmodded. However I reckon for about USd500 more than retail price, its no brainer to me.
Well compare to a benchmark its knock out in round 1. Its so much more analog sounding. I listen it for hours at time without feeling fatigue unlike benchmark, which even though its transparent sounding but certainly thin and digital sounding
Search dac section- bryston bda-1 se signature. True harmonix
Just a satisfy customer

So getting a 500 dollar mod ,and u didnt even listen to it, did u see if Bryston could or would recommend this mod
