PS Audio Direct Stream

Yyzsantabarbara, I thought that the HDMI inputs could be used that way too. But, they can only connect other PS Units with I2S outputs. If you don't have any of those, those inputs are useless.

Joecasey. I'm using XLR (AES) digital. I would like to try USB but I'm not sure about its compatibility with each other.
I read on the PS Instructions about downloading USB drivers. Not sure how to do this with the Bryston BDP-2 in place of a computer.

Ozzy, not so on that.

I use I2S from my Empirical Audio Off Ramp 5 into the PWD II I2S input.

Ozzy, My guess USB drivers are already installed on BDP-2 but I would stick with XLR.

BTW, have you compared BDP-2/DS to your Cary 306?

There are non-PSA units with I2S outputs that can connect to the Directstream. W4S server is one example.

Yes, there are other units that can use the I2S via a HDMI cable.
But, its too bad that one of the 2 HDMI inputs couldn't be just used as a regular HDMI input.
So, I could use that input with my Oppo.
