Lumin U1 or Bryston Bdp2

Yep I have the bda-3 very good

Just purchased a Bdp-3.  Thanks

Bryston has a terrible interface. The interface is a significant part of the experience.

The MM interface certainly is spartan  🐗 and is due for a facelift. I just have the poor mans version (BDP Pi) but this little unit sounds great and it works great as a ROON endpoint as well. The Radio Paradise app also sounds really good and can stream 16/48.  Be sure to try out the RP app if you like internet radio.  I can only imagine how good the BDP 3 sounds.  I hope I can afford one some day. 🤞 🤓

@hiend2 Make sure you gives an update on how things are going with the BDP3.

The BDP 3 has a sound card and the Pi does not but the Pi and the 3 both use the same processor. I would guess that much of the filtering is the same. If I'm not mistaken, the BDP 3 runs the Roon signal through its processor for a better sounding signal where the Pi only acts as a bridge. Anyway, I bought the Pi (not to stream) and I do like the sound in MDP mode however I'm unable to play DSD files in Roon. Does RIGELIAN support DSD mode? Also, I just spoke to Bryston a couple of days ago and they plan to release a vastly improved software update in fall. Admittedly, my understanding of this is limited and I could easily be wrong about a number of things here, so any insights would help me out too.

I used Rigelian with the BDP 3.  It certainly was an improvement over Bipolar Bison (that’s a low bar), and it was free, but far from perfect.  It didn’t recognize about half my library, I had to reboot it several times, and it’s Qobuz integration wasn’t optimal.  All very frustrating and I was much happier after selling off the BDP3.  I am currently very happy with the Melco N 100 and Cambridge Audio CXN 60 playing through my Bryston DAC3.
