Bryston BDP-1 Digital Player

" State-of-the-Art " Digital Music Player

The BDP-1 supports playback of most high resolution digital music formats including AIFF, FLAC & WAV files up to 24bit / 192KHz. Not ignoring standard formats (and even lower resolution digital music files), this is a superb media interface that receives digital audio inputs via any of its four USB ports.

The BDP-1 outputs digital signals via its SPDIF and AES/EBU ports for connecting to an external DAC like Bryston’s BDA-1, which in turn delivers analog audio signals to preamps and integrated amplifiers.

Can be controlled by iPod Touch or the iPad using their WiFi interface and the mPod app remotely via Bryston’s web apps (MINI for mobile devices and MAX for desktop computers) and the Mini the add-on for the Firefox Web browser.

• Linear power supply for audio processing circuitry
