Is Bryson BDA-1 still up to date.

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The only thing that's really out of date on the Bryston is its USB input.

I am not going to be using the USB so I guess the Bryston could work for me. Anyone have experience with the BDA-1 to give their experience on the sound?

I had a Wyred DAC 2, which I replaced with a Bryston BDA-1 (after getting a Bryston BDP-1). I find the Bryston to be slightly more forgiving than the Wyred, while the Wyred is slightly more resolving. I can listen to an Andrew Bird cut on the Bryston that I couldn't listen to on the Wyred. I believe the Wryed's best feature is its USB response. I like the Bryston better for CDs.
