When I was investigating DACs, a dealer found Allnic D5000 had compatibility issues with Bryston BDP-2 in coax and aes above 96hz but fine via USB. D5000 works fine with Oppo-BDP105. BDP-2 works fine with all his DACs except for D5000 so FYI if planning to pair them together.

Bryston is very proactive r and d division with continuous firmware updates implementing improvements Much sooner than other manufacturers. Depending on the firmware version the dac works. Waversa other times rewrites their software to be compatible. However, this has been short lived with further bryston updates. They are working on a solution and. Will post here.

Btw. I trialled my d5000 with the bryston with the local dealer. I really like the bryston and they would pair well once this issue is resolved.

I got tired of waiting for a solution so moved on. From my experience with PS Audio, these moving targets never ends well and very frustrating for end users.

So far Bryston only has reported issues with Allnic. Has Allnic investigated their implementation?

Waversa who designed and manufactured the digital components for Allnic has investigated Bryston's implementation. This has been an ongoing issue before Allnic was designed and built.

I have not heard from Allnic or Waversa of any issues from other transports or servers. From my personal experience, the impedance of my AES cable was not to the standard spec and this would create clicks while playing tracks. I had no issue with an Audience AU24se cable.

In my experience, the USB implementation is the most robust of both the M2Tech used in Empirical Overdrive SE, which was far more stable than EMM Labs use of XMOS.

If anyone owns or demos a D5000 and has any conflicts, please post your experience.
