Bryston BDP-2


I've been making some changes lately. In an effort to get my source right, I debated between a PS Audio PWT and Bryston BDP-2. I decided to order a BDP-2. I received the digital player on Thursday. Unfortunately, the BDP-2 didn't work. I could hear something moving around inside and it wouldn't power on. Although I heard it in a store, I never had a chance to hear in my own system. For some reason, the BDP-2 is the only item I ever received and thought the look and feel didn't justify the cost. Before I decide to get a replacement, I have a couple of question for BDP-1 or BDP-2 owners. Has anyone compared either digital player to a Mac-mini? Is there a significant difference between the BDP-1 and BDP-2?

Ricred1,

Sorry. I didn't look carefully enough. I thought you had the Bryston DAC. Also, you are correct about me not knowing how much you paid for your cables. I was just going by list price. Given that, the reason I brought it up to begin with is that you see so many people spend more for cables than they do on their components. And since I screwed that whole scenario up, its understandable why you didn't see my last part of my post as nothing more than humour. But at least I got the first sentence right.
Zd542,

No need to apologize, I understand it was your humor. I'm at the point that I want to complete my system and be done for awhile.
Zd542,

In addition, I'm very frustrated trying to decide if I should go from my Parasound A21 to a Bryston 4bsst2. I thought I had an opportunity to compare the two at home, but it fell through. My concern is it my be a lateral move.
