Is Bryson BDA-1 still up to date.

I had the Bryston and moved to the M2 Tech Young Dac which was far better and it is only $1,500.00

Dealer disclaimer.

Don't wanna name names but I read someone sayin, actually complaining maybe, that the Bryston sounded no better than the Adcom GDA 700 they had.

I am using a sony cd player and running computer audio through an apple airport express. I liked the bryston due to the ability to use multiple inputs and switch inputs from the front of the unit.

If you are basically happy with the sound, I would try some cheap tweaks before switching. In my experience, placing components on cones or other hard footers tend to lean out the sound slightly, which may be what you are looking for. Cleaning up the midbass often gives the impression of more clarity, but possibly at the expense of fullness. You might also try a different IC, if you have several around, as most people here seem to.

The only thing that's really out of date on the Bryston is its USB input.
