Let me start out thanking both Ted and Paul for creating such a great sounding audio component. I am thoroughly enjoying my journey back through all my PCM (both ripped, and Hi-Rez). Now for the question, it has to do with streaming DSD 64 files, after reading posts and searching the web I think I a…

Welcome, Bob99! If you like the Bryston, you may want to consider the BDP-3. It provides support for DSD up to DSD256; that is, quad rate DSD.

The I2S out through HDMI is a standard that PS Audio created many years ago. Some companies follow our published standard, others don’t. Since it isn’t an official “industry” standard, it’s best to ask the few companies supporting I2S through HDMI if they follow our published standards. Here’s the…

This thread will be of help: [image] Compatible I2S source devices DACs I’d thought I’d start a thread where folks can list devices that are compatible with the DS DAC via the I2S port. The PWT is an obvious one. Any others? If this has already been discussed in another …

I initially had a BDP-1 connected to my DS Sr. It has been awhile, but if I recall correctly, via USB, you can stream DSD via DOP to the DS Sr from the BDP-1. You have to go into the BDP-1 set up, I can not recall which settings page, and tell it to recognize the DS Sr. When I enabled the feature…

Yes, I believe you have to check a box in the settings allowing it to output via the USB to the DS. I can’t remember what page, and I’m currently away from my system. I own a BDP-2 and I only own one DSD64 file, but it plays fine via the USB input.

Dashboard -> Audio Devices But on the BDP-1 this enables DoP over USB only, while the OP states he would like to use AES/EBU.

Agreed Elk. I just thought using the USB might serve as a temporary solution while the OP researches a new source, although I do not know the specs for the BDP-1. I thought the BDP-3 does not output DSD at all via the AES/EBU output, if I remember correctly.

It is on my list we have a dealer here in Austin and I can actually try it in my system before purchasing.

USB front panel are only for thumb drives or usb drives with their own power, back panel USB are the same except they can handle supplying power to USB drives, nothing for using a PC, or USB output.

Thanks will look at this when I get a chance.
