Plays Digital Files with Extraordinary Musicality

Many
digital playback systems incorporate an all-in-one approach to digital
playback. These systems are burdened with performing all of the
identified tasks of playing digital audio, including ripping content and
managing storage in the same box that is struggling to play the audio
files faithfully. Instead of opting for the usual 'Swiss army knife'
multi-functional approach, Bryston broke the different tasks apart with
the BDP-1 digital player and dedicated its efforts to the stages where
it could bring the most value and performance.

All-in-one
music servers have serious issues with noise and distortion, so Bryston
totally separated the 'digital processing' side (playing music files)
from the 'data management' (storage, handling, ripping) side of the
equation. The Bryston BDP-1 Digital Player's single function is to play
high-resolution digital music files without compromise using a USB
drive. It does not contain a hard-drive streamer, CD player, ripper, or
noisy fans and switching power supplies. Thus there are essentially no
mechanical moving parts to the BDP-1 that could compromise sound
quality.

To
do this most efficiently, the BDP-1 uses a Linux operating system to
provide the highest quality audio performance. Its industrial quality
motherboard uses only a small amount of its computing power. The
built-in soundcard is one of the finest available, and the AES-EBU
Balanced and BNC SP/DIF output section offers unparalleled performance
when connected to the AES-EBU, BNC, or coaxial input on the Bryston
BDA-1 external DAC or other no-compromise external DAC. Bryston also
electronically isolated the audio components from the computer
components and used galvanic isolation to isolate and avoid
charge-carrying particles moving from one section to another.

"Astonishing"

The BDP-1 Digital Player was honored by its inclusion in The Absolute Sound 2012 High-End Audio Buyer's Guide, which noted, "The astonishing new BDP-1 Digital Player is a technological tour de force that
bridges the generational divide between the Old World familiarity of a
traditional CD player and the new world of high-resolution files and
music-library management, between a past constrained by frustratingly
compromised digital audio sound quality and an exciting future in which
digital artifacts have finally been reduced to inconsequential levels."

"A Keeper," Says Stereophile

"It
played every hi-rez file I could lay hands on, including 24-bit/192kHz
FLAC, WAV, and AIFF files, consistently delivering open highs, rich mid-
range timbres, a stunning dynamic range, and three-dimensional
imaging," reports Larry Greenhill in his June 2011 Stereophile magazine review. "When you hear it, you, too, will find the BDP-1 a keeper."

Stereophile honored
the Bryston BDP-1 digital audio player by including it in its
"Recommended Components - Class A" list for 2013. "Bryston's BDP-1
proved to be an excellent-performing digital source, with a low-jitter
bit-accurate data output capable of operating at sample rates up to 192
kHz," said the magazine.

"The Sense of Space is Astonishing"

"The sense of space is astonishing," marvels England's What Hi-Fi? magazine.
"Not just the space that defines the venue, but that between
instruments, too. And despite all the insight, there's no loss of
cohesion. There's also a spell-binding finesse here, a lightness of
touch, that once heard is hard to do without."

"A Remarkable Device"

"The
BDP-1 has a very rich, very clean sound with ample bass and
astonishingly low levels of distortion," says Andy Schaub in Issue 56,
July/August 2011, of Positive Feedback magazine. "This is a
remarkable device that gets that much closer to integrating the Internet
into your home audio system and doing so with aplomb."

UnParalleled Playback of Files Up To 192 kHz

The
Bryston BDP-1 Digital Player focuses 'only' on playing high-resolution
files, and playing them with a level of uncompromising musicality. It
will support 16-bit and 24-bit files with the following sample rates:
44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 96 kHz, 176.4 kHz, and 192 kHz. It accesses
these digital files from a USB device – either a thumb-drive or a
hard-drive.

The
BDP-1 reproduces the digital content in its native sample rate and bit
depth and outputs the data stream through a high performance dedicated
AES-EBU balanced XLR output or BNC/coaxial (SPDIF) connector. It
processes digital music files at a performance level unattainable with
other approaches.

Using the BDP-1 with Your Home Network

The
easiest way to understand the Bryston BDP-1 is to think of it as a 21st
century updated CD player. Instead of using CDs as the music source,
though, it utilizes USB thumb drives or USB hard-drives as the music
storage source. For example you can use a large 1TB USB hard-drive which
is permanently connected or mass storage of your music and then use a
number of smaller 8-16GB USB thumb-drives to create specific play lists –
one for Jazz, one for Classical, one for Rock, etc, and insert them
into the BDP-1 as you wish. Also your friends can come over with their
favorite songs loaded on their personal thumb-drives and listen as well.

If
you like, you can use the BDP-1 with your home network. It incorporates
state-of-the-art electronics which link up to your home network and may
be controlled by a variety of graphic interface devices, such as
laptop, netbook, iPhone, or web browser The BDP-1's graphic interface
operates under 'open source' software protocols, ensuring long term
future proofing and compatibility with the widest possible range of
other digital devices as they are developed. Bryston will also be
developing its own Bryston web based MPD client.

The
home network is only utilized to allow you to view, manage and control
your playlist. The other interface option is utilizing the front panel
controls and two-line graphic display on the Bryston BDP-1 digital
player. You do not have to be connected to the home network in order to
use the front panel controls. The BDP-1's graphic interface operates
under 'open source' software protocols, ensuring long term future
proofing and compatibility with the widest possible range of other
digital devices as they are developed.
