It picks your source — a turntable, a streamer, a CD player — adjusts the volume, and sends the signal on to your power amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BR-20 does all of that, and much more. It is Bryston’s answer to the modern audiophile’s full front end. One box replaces four separate components: a preamplifier, a DAC (digital-to-analog converter), a network streamer, and a phono stage for vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name means something. BR-20 stands for Brian Russell — the longtime Bryston president who passed away in September 2020 at age 68. The preamp was nearly finished when he died. Bryston’s team completed it as a tribute. On their website, Bryston calls it their “most exquisite representation of musicality ever.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Analog Preamp Section\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe preamp circuit inside the BR-20 is a clean-sheet design. Bryston built it from scratch using all-new, fully discrete amplifier circuits — meaning no off-the-shelf chips in the signal path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to Bryston, the BR-20 produces the lowest noise and distortion they have ever measured in their 40-plus year history. The signal path is fully balanced from input to output. Balanced means the circuit carries two versions of the signal — one normal, one inverted — which cancels out interference picked up along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe volume control is fully analog and balanced. It uses tightly matched resistors and moves in precise 0.5dB steps. A ring of small LEDs around the volume knob shows the output level from across the room. All input switching uses physical relays — no electronic switches in the signal path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe DAC\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BR-20’s DAC (digital-to-analog converter) uses the same circuit design as Bryston’s standalone BDA-3 — a unit that sold for nearly $3,800 on its own. It handles PCM audio up to 32-bit\/384kHz and DSD up to DSD256 via USB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA re-clocking circuit inside the DAC removes jitter. Jitter is a timing error in digital audio — it causes small inconsistencies in playback that can blur the sound. The re-clocking circuit corrects those errors in real time. Independent measurements by HomeTheaterHifi.com confirmed it works as Bryston claims.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDigital inputs include AES\/EBU (XLR), coaxial S\/PDIF, optical TosLink, and USB-B. Maximum resolution depends on the input used — see the spec table below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Streamer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BR-20 has a built-in music streamer. It is based on a Raspberry Pi 4 — a fast, modern platform that loads large music libraries quickly. The BR-20 is certified \u003cstrong\u003eRoon Ready\u003c\/strong\u003e and also supports Tidal, Qobuz, and AirPlay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour USB-A ports on the rear accept drives loaded with local music files. The BR-20 does not include Wi-Fi. Bryston recommends a wired Ethernet connection and advises against Wi-Fi dongles, which they say introduce noise into the preamp’s circuitry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe MM Phono Stage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis version includes Bryston’s moving-magnet (MM) phono stage, installed at the factory. A phono stage amplifies the very small signal from a turntable cartridge up to line level. Bryston says this internal stage matches their standalone BP2-MM phono preamplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the phono stage is installed, it uses one of the RCA inputs. You still have two balanced XLR inputs and one RCA input available for other sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Headphone Amplifier\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe front-panel headphone output uses a dedicated low-impedance circuit — updated from previous Bryston preamps with more power and lower output impedance. Lower output impedance means better control over a wider range of headphones. The output uses a standard 6.35mm (¼-inch) jack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWarranty and Build\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery BR-20 is built by hand in Ontario, Canada. The analog circuitry carries Bryston’s 20-year parts-and-labor warranty. The digital components — DAC and streamer — carry a 5-year warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Are Reviewers Saying?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ec-blockquote\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGordon Brockhouse, SoundStage!

You’ll need a separate power amplifier (such as a Bryston 3B³ or 4B³) and a pair of speakers. For streaming, you’ll also need a wired Ethernet connection — the BR-20 doesn’t support Wi-Fi. For vinyl, this version already includes the MM phono stage, so you can plug in a moving-magnet turntable directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the BR-20 compatible with my turntable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis version includes a moving-magnet (MM) phono stage, so it works with any turntable that uses an MM cartridge — the most common type. Moving-coil (MC) cartridges need a step-up transformer or separate MC phono stage before connecting to the BR-20. Not sure what cartridge type you have? Call us at \u003ca href=\"tel:+18009420220\"\u003e800-942-0220\u003c\/a\u003e and we’ll help you sort it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the BR-20 support Wi-Fi?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The BR-20 requires a wired Ethernet connection for streaming. Bryston strongly advises against using a Wi-Fi dongle — they found it introduces RF noise into the preamp’s circuitry, which works against the BR-20’s very low noise floor. If running a cable to your listening room isn’t easy, a Powerline Ethernet adapter is a common workaround.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the BR-20 Roon Ready?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The BR-20 is fully Roon Ready certified. It integrates directly with the Roon platform without extra setup. Many BR-20 owners use Roon as their primary playback interface rather than the built-in Manic Moose web UI.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat streaming services does the BR-20 support?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BR-20 supports Tidal and Qobuz natively through its built-in streamer. It also supports AirPlay via Shairport Sync, which lets you stream from Apple devices. Roon users can also stream from any service Roon supports. Spotify can be streamed via AirPlay as a workaround.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the 17-inch and 19-inch versions?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJust the width of the faceplate. The 17-inch fits standard home audio furniture and rack shelves. The 19-inch (this one) fits professional equipment racks. The electronics, features, and specs are identical. Pick the 19” if your gear lives in an equipment rack or if you prefer the wider look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this version include the MM phono stage?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The MM phono stage is included and factory-installed on this model. It uses the first RCA analog input — that input is not available for line-level sources. You still have two balanced XLR inputs and one RCA input free for other components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat warranty does the BR-20 carry?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe analog section is covered by Bryston’s 20-year parts-and-labor warranty — one of the longest in consumer electronics. The digital components (DAC and streamer) carry a 5-year warranty. The warranty is transferable to a second owner with the original bill of sale from an authorized dealer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I add the HDMI board later?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — but it must be installed by a qualified technician, not by the user. The optional HDMI card adds four inputs and one output, supports 4K HDR passthrough, and allows DSD audio over HDMI from SACD players. Contact us or Bryston directly for installation details and current pricing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the BR-20 support MQA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat’s in the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBryston BR-20 Stereo Preamplifier — Silver, 19” Faceplate, with MM Phono Stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBR-4 remote control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIEC AC power cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOwner’s manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty and registration documentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Audio Advisor?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ec-titlebox-text\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/1f3b5.svg\" alt=\"music note emoji\" width=\"20\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e40+ Years of Expertise\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e— Since 1981, we’ve helped over a million music lovers find the right gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/1f504.svg\" alt=\"repeat emoji\" width=\"20\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e60-Day Money-Back Guarantee\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e— Take your time.

Its model number is a direct nod to the mathematical constant π — because the 3.14 is literally the contents of two Bryston products merged into one chassis: the BDA-3 DAC and the BDP-Pi streaming player.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) takes a digital audio signal — from a CD player, a music file, a streaming service — and converts it into the analog signal your amplifier can use. The BDA-3 is the DAC Bryston considers their best, and the one that earned a Class A+ rating from Stereophile’s Larry Greenhill. The BDP-Pi is Bryston’s streaming player, built around a Raspberry Pi single-board computer with Bryston’s Manic Moose software running on top. Separately, those two components cost around $5,290. The BDA-3.14 packages both for $4,195 — and connects them via I2S, the highest-quality internal digital interface available, rather than the USB or S\/PDIF connections you’d use if the two sat on a shelf side by side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DAC section decodes digital audio in essentially any format you might encounter today: PCM files up to 384kHz at 32 bits, and DSD up to DSD256 (four times the rate of a standard DSD file). Every format plays back natively — the BDA-3.14 doesn’t convert DSD to PCM or down-sample high-resolution files before converting them. Bit-perfect from input to analog output is Bryston’s stated design goal, and the architecture supports it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe analog output section is the same one found in the BDA-3: fully discrete, built entirely from individual transistors with no integrated circuit chips in the signal path. IC chips are common because they’re compact and inexpensive, but Bryston argues they limit the bandwidth and dynamic range that a purely discrete design can achieve. The output stage is Class A, fully balanced, delivering 4.0 volts on the XLR outputs and 2.0 volts on the RCA outputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe streaming section adds a built-in Ethernet port, two USB Type-A ports for external drives, and Bryston’s Manic Moose software — which connects to Qobuz, Tidal, Internet radio, NAS-attached storage, and USB-connected drives, and supports Roon as a playback endpoint, as well as AirPlay, DLNA\/UPnP, Squeezelite, and MPD. The unit is controlled via the Manic Moose app on phones and tablets, or through a web browser by navigating to my.bryston.com on any device connected to your network.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BDA-3.14 also adds something the BDA-3 lacks: a digital volume control. This lets you connect the balanced or single-ended outputs directly to a power amplifier and use the BDA-3.14 as a full digital preamplifier — eliminating one more box and one more set of cables. The volume control uses the 32-bit headroom built into the AK4490 DAC chips, which means bit loss at lower volume settings is not substantial enough to cause audible degradation, as it would be on a 24-bit platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, the BDA-3.14 is the only Bryston DAC to offer HDMI connectivity: four HDMI inputs accept audio from Blu-ray players, SACD players, game consoles, or any HDMI-equipped source. This is significant because HDMI is the only interface that can pass DSD audio from an SACD player’s disc drive — making the BDA-3.14 a genuine high-resolution SACD processor. A fifth HDMI port on the rear panel passes the video signal through to your display, so your Blu-ray player still connects to your TV through the BDA-3.14 without any loss of picture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a digital product, the BDA-3.14 carries a \u003cstrong\u003e5-year parts and labor warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e — Bryston’s standard for digital electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote for buyers considering the BDA-3.14 primarily for its streaming features:\u003c\/em\u003e The Manic Moose platform has been updated since the product’s 2019 launch and works well as a Roon endpoint.

The DAC section of the BDA-3.14 is built on the same architecture: a pair of AK4490 32-bit DAC chips in a dual-mono balanced configuration, the same discrete Class A analog output stage, and the same re-clocking circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e384kHz\/32-bit PCM, DSD256 — Natively\u003c\/strong\u003e — The BDA-3.14 handles the full range of current high-resolution formats via its direct digital inputs. PCM files play at up to 384kHz at 32 bits. DSD files play natively up to DSD256 (four times standard DSD). Every format is processed in its native form — no conversion to PCM before the DAC, no re-sampling that could introduce artifacts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUltra-Precise Re-Clocking\u003c\/strong\u003e — Jitter is the enemy of digital audio: timing irregularities in the digital signal translate into distortion artifacts in the analog output. Bryston’s re-clocking circuit reduces jitter to nearly unmeasurable levels. All signals — including those from the internal streaming module — pass through this circuit before reaching the DAC chips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiscrete Class A Analog Output Stage — No ICs in the Signal Path\u003c\/strong\u003e — The analog output section uses only individual transistors, capacitors, and resistors. Integrated circuit chips are deliberately avoided. According to Bryston, IC chips limit the bandwidth and dynamic range of the analog output stage. Output level is 4.0 volts balanced (XLR) and 2.0 volts single-ended (RCA).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDigital Volume Control — Use It as a Preamplifier\u003c\/strong\u003e — The AK4490 chips operate at 32 bits. Bryston uses this headroom for digital volume control: at even modest volume reductions, the bit loss on a 32-bit platform is not large enough to cause audible degradation. This makes the BDA-3.14 a genuine digital preamplifier — connect it directly to a power amp and eliminate a separate preamp from your system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStreaming \u0026amp; Connectivity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStreaming via Built-In Raspberry Pi, Connected by I2S\u003c\/strong\u003e — Rather than adding a separate streaming module connected via USB or S\/PDIF, Bryston fitted a Raspberry Pi single-board computer internally and connected it to the DAC’s sample-rate converter board using I2S — a digital audio interface that preserves audio and clock data with virtually zero error. This is the ideal connection between a streaming device and a DAC, and it’s what you’d need to build yourself to replicate it externally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoon Ready, Qobuz, Tidal, AirPlay, NAS, Internet Radio\u003c\/strong\u003e — The Manic Moose software on the Raspberry Pi connects to streaming services directly. Roon Ready certification means the BDA-3.14 is a fully supported Roon endpoint. AirPlay lets iPhones, Macs, and iTunes libraries on Windows stream to the BDA-3.14 at up to CD resolution. UPnP\/DLNA compatibility adds further source options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt-In Streamer Maximum Resolution: 192kHz\/24-bit PCM\u003c\/strong\u003e — Bryston is straightforward about this: audio played through the internal Raspberry Pi streamer — including Roon streams routed through it — is limited to 192kHz\/24-bit PCM. Content above that resolution, or any DSD file, is automatically down-sampled to 192\/24 when played via the internal streamer. For files above 192kHz or native DSD playback, use the BDA-3.14’s direct digital inputs (USB Type-B, AES\/EBU, SPDIF, or HDMI) from a computer or transport that sends the full-resolution signal directly to the DAC section.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHDMI Inputs — SACD, Blu-ray, and More\u003c\/strong\u003e — Four 2-channel HDMI inputs accept audio from any HDMI-equipped source. This includes SACD players that can output DSD data over HDMI — giving the BDA-3.14 full SACD decoding capability. A fifth HDMI port (output) passes the video signal from whichever HDMI input is selected to your display — no video quality loss, no extra cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTen Discrete Digital Inputs\u003c\/strong\u003e — The BDA-3.14 accepts audio from: 4× HDMI (audio), 1× asynchronous USB (Type-B, from computer), 1× AES\/EBU, 1× TOSLINK optical, 1× SPDIF coaxial (RCA), 1× SPDIF via BNC, and the built-in Ethernet streamer.

At 8.45 pounds, it’s unusually light for a Bryston component.

That could be a power amplifier and passive speakers, an integrated amplifier, or a pair of active (powered) speakers. If you use the variable output setting, the BDA-3.14 handles volume control and you don’t need a separate preamplifier. For streaming, you’ll need a home network with an Ethernet connection to your router. Everything else — Qobuz, Tidal, Roon, NAS — connects through the network or directly to the unit’s inputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use the BDA-3.14 without a separate preamplifier?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The BDA-3.14 includes a digital volume control and variable analog outputs — balanced XLR and single-ended RCA. Set the output to variable, connect the XLR outputs to a power amplifier’s balanced inputs, and the BDA-3.14 controls your volume directly. This works especially well with active loudspeakers: one box becomes your entire digital front end. If you prefer to use a separate preamplifier, set the BDA-3.14 to fixed output and let the preamp handle volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is I2S, and why does it matter that the BDA-3.14 uses it internally?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI2S (Inter-IC Sound) is a digital audio bus standard developed specifically for connecting digital audio chips to each other inside a device. It carries audio data and the clock signal on separate wires — most external formats like USB or S\/PDIF carry both together, which can introduce timing errors (jitter). Because the Raspberry Pi in the BDA-3.14 is physically inside the chassis, Bryston connects it to the DAC’s sample-rate converter board directly via I2S. The result is a cleaner digital handoff than any external streamer-to-DAC connection can achieve with the same hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does the internal streamer max out at 192kHz? Can I still play higher-resolution files?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — with a caveat about the path. The Raspberry Pi inside the BDA-3.14 limits the internal streaming module to 192kHz\/24-bit PCM. Audio above that resolution (352.8, 384kHz PCM, or any DSD) is automatically down-sampled to 192\/24 when it plays through the internal streamer — this includes Roon streams that route through the Pi. This is a Raspberry Pi hardware limitation, not a DAC limitation. To play files at full resolution above 192kHz, connect a computer or high-resolution transport directly to the BDA-3.14’s asynchronous USB input or AES\/EBU input. The DAC section handles 384kHz PCM and DSD256 natively via those inputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the BDA-3.14 work with Roon?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — it’s Roon Ready certified. Your Roon Core (running on a PC, NAS, or Roon Nucleus) sees the BDA-3.14 on your network and uses it as an endpoint. Audio streams from the Core to the BDA-3.14’s internal streamer, then to the DAC. As noted above, Roon audio routed through the internal streamer is limited to 192\/24. For higher-resolution Roon playback, connect a Roon-compatible source directly to the BDA-3.14’s USB input and use that as your Roon endpoint instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use the HDMI inputs with my SACD or Blu-ray player?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, and this is one of the BDA-3.14’s most distinctive features. HDMI is the only interface that can pass DSD audio data from an SACD player’s disc drive. Connect your SACD player’s HDMI output to one of the BDA-3.14’s four HDMI audio inputs, and the BDA-3.14 decodes the DSD audio using its own high-quality DAC circuitry — which almost certainly outperforms the DAC built into your player. The HDMI output on the BDA-3.14’s rear panel simultaneously passes the video signal from that input to your TV or display. The same setup works with Blu-ray players for 2-channel lossless audio — the BDA-3.14 receives the signal and converts it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat streaming services does the BDA-3.14 support?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQobuz, Tidal, and Internet radio are built in through the Manic Moose software. Roon Ready certification means any Roon library is accessible. AirPlay lets you stream from an iPhone, iPad, Mac, or iTunes library on a Windows PC. DLNA\/UPnP opens compatibility with many other media servers. Squeezelite compatibility allows use with Logitech Media Server. NAS drives on your home network and USB-connected drives are also accessible. Spotify is not natively supported — verify current software state with Bryston, as Manic Moose has been updated since the 2019 launch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the warranty compare to Bryston’s other products?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BDA-3.14 is a digital product, so it carries Bryston’s 5-year parts and labor warranty — the same as all Bryston digital electronics. Bryston’s analog electronics (amplifiers, preamplifiers) carry a longer warranty. The 5-year warranty on the BDA-3.14 is still very strong by industry standards for digital components; most DACs and streamers carry 1–3 years. Keep your original purchase receipt from Audio Advisor as your proof of purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the BDA-3.14 still worth buying, or has it been replaced?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs of this writing, the BDA-3.14 remains Bryston’s current streaming DAC with HDMI. The combination of the BDA-3 DAC platform, I2S-connected internal streaming, four HDMI inputs, and a discrete Class A analog output stage is still a compelling and somewhat unique set of features at this price point.

The N200 greatly benefits from “trickle down” technology from Aurender's far more expensive models, allowing it to deliver audio performance that belies its cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStorage and Connectivity, Your Way\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eMany consumers today are using streaming services exclusively.

Inside one compact aluminum chassis, NAD has packed a streaming player, a digital-to-analog converter, a preamp, and a power amp. Connect a pair of speakers and you have a complete music system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe V2 builds on the original C 700, which NAD launched in 2021. The new version keeps the core amplifier and the BluOS streaming brain that made the first C 700 popular. It then adds a moving-magnet phono stage for turntables, refines the digital circuitry, and opens the door to Dirac Live room correction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBluOS is NAD's wireless streaming platform (NAD and Bluesound share it). It runs in a free app on your phone, tablet, or laptop. You browse music, pick a song, and the C 700 V2 plays it through your speakers — wired or completely wireless.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's New in V2 — and Why It Matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNAD describes the C 700 V2 as a refresh designed to \"polish anything that even remotely looked like a rough edge\" on the original. Three things changed. The digital-to-analog stage was redesigned for wider dynamic range and lower noise. A moving-magnet phono input was added for turntable owners. And Dirac Live room correction became an option through a separately purchased license.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe same compact aluminum body and 5-inch color display carry over. So does the HybridDigital UcD output stage. If you owned the original C 700, the V2 is the same idea, finished better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does it matter? How does it improve your listening?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStreaming-amp combinations have to do a lot. Decode hi-res files, drive speakers cleanly, switch sources, sound musical. The C 700 V2 puts most of the work inside one well-engineered box, so the signal path stays short and the noise floor stays low.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe headline number is 80 watts per channel continuous into both 8 and 4 ohms — driven cleanly to under 0.04% distortion. Short-burst dynamic power reaches 100 W into 8 ohms and 125 W into 4 ohms, which helps the amp stay composed through musical peaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe digital side handles streams up to 24-bit \/ 192 kHz PCM with MQA decoding and rendering. The refined digital-to-analog stage in the V2 brings wider dynamic range and accurate imaging across all sources — streaming, optical, coaxial, HDMI eARC, and the new phono input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's different about how it's built?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HybridDigital UcD output stage is NAD's pairing of an analog preamp circuit with a Class D power module developed in collaboration with Bruno Putzeys. UcD (Universal Class D) was an early modern Class D topology designed to keep distortion low and behavior predictable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is high efficiency — the amp runs cool and stays small — combined with low measurable noise. Damping factor is over 90 across the audible range, meaning the C 700 V2 keeps tight control of the speakers it drives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe phono input is moving-magnet only. NAD has designed it with accurate RIAA equalization (the standard EQ curve every vinyl record is cut to) so an MM cartridge plugs straight in. Moving-coil cartridges need an external phono stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHDMI eARC connects the C 700 V2 to a compatible TV with a single cable. The TV remote can then control volume, so TV listening doesn't require a separate remote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is this best for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/2714.svg\" alt=\"✔️\" width=\"15\"\u003e You want a complete music system in one box — just add speakers and you're done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/2714.svg\" alt=\"✔️\" width=\"15\"\u003e You stream music as your main source — Spotify, Tidal, Qobuz, Amazon Music, Apple AirPlay, internet radio, or files on a NAS or USB drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/2714.svg\" alt=\"✔️\" width=\"15\"\u003e You own a turntable with a moving-magnet cartridge and want to plug it straight in without buying an outboard phono stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/2714.svg\" alt=\"✔️\" width=\"15\"\u003e You want clean TV audio through your stereo speakers via a single HDMI eARC cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/2714.svg\" alt=\"✔️\" width=\"15\"\u003e You're building a multi-room BluOS system — or might want to later — and want one BluOS node to play, control, and coordinate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/2714.svg\" alt=\"✔️\" width=\"15\"\u003e You care about room correction and would like the option to add Dirac Live down the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does it connect to your system?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnalog: one moving-magnet phono input plus a stereo line-level RCA input.

The benefit is high efficiency (the amp runs cool and stays compact) combined with low noise and clean delivery. Continuous output is 80 W per channel into both 8 and 4 ohms, with dynamic power up to 125 W into 4 ohms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRefined Digital-to-Analog Stage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe V2's redesigned digital-to-analog stage was developed to deliver wider dynamic range, accurate imaging, and low noise across every source — streaming, optical, coaxial, HDMI eARC, and the phono input. The result is more openness and musical nuance from the same recordings the original C 700 played.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBluOS Streaming Built In\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBluOS is the streaming platform NAD shares with Bluesound. It runs in a free Controller app on iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows. You get over 20 streaming services (Tidal, Qobuz, Amazon Music Ultra HD, Spotify, Deezer, Idagio, internet radio, and more), high-resolution playback up to 24-bit \/ 192 kHz, MQA decoding and rendering, and multi-room support across up to 63 additional BluOS zones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMM Phono Stage for Vinyl\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA moving-magnet phono input is built in — new for the V2. RIAA equalization is accurate and noise is low, so an MM cartridge on most entry-level and mid-range turntables plugs in directly with no outboard phono stage required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHDMI eARC for TV Audio\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne HDMI cable from your TV to the C 700 V2 routes TV audio through your hi-fi speakers. The TV remote can control volume on the amp, so casual TV listening doesn't need a separate remote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDirac Live Ready (Optional Upgrade)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDirac Live is one of the most respected room-correction tools in audio. The C 700 V2 supports it as an optional upgrade — buy a Dirac Live license and a calibrated USB microphone, run the measurement, and the amp stores up to five profiles you can recall by remote. Without the license, the C 700 V2 works fully as a streaming amp; room correction is a future-proof add.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e5-Inch Color Display\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe front of the C 700 V2 has a 5-inch glass color display. It shows album art, track information, and system menus. The control knob and navigation buttons next to it let you handle setup and playback without a phone or tablet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAirPlay 2, aptX HD Bluetooth, Roon Ready\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAirPlay 2 streams from Apple devices and iTunes libraries. Two-way aptX HD Bluetooth means you can receive from a phone or transmit to wireless headphones. Roon Ready certification lets the C 700 V2 act as a Roon endpoint on a Roon Core network.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSmart Home and Voice Control\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C 700 V2 has drivers for Control4, Crestron, Elan, RTI, and other smart-home control systems.

The C 700 V2 has the streaming player, DAC, preamp, and power amp built in. If you have a turntable, plug it into the MM phono input. If you have a TV, plug it into the HDMI eARC port. That's it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the C 700 V2 a good match for my speakers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatching depends on power output, speaker sensitivity, and impedance — and the right answer depends on your specific speakers and room. The C 700 V2's 80 W continuous (with strong dynamic headroom) suits a wide range of bookshelf and compact floorstanders. Call us at \u003ca href=\"tel:+18009420220\"\u003e800-942-0220\u003c\/a\u003e and we'll help you dial it in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the differences between Class A, Class A\/B, and Class D amplifiers? Which one is this?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C 700 V2 uses HybridDigital UcD — a Class D output stage paired with NAD's analog preamp circuitry. Class A runs the output transistors fully on (clean, but hot and inefficient). Class A\/B blends both modes — the traditional analog approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClass D switches the output transistors rapidly. The benefit is high efficiency and low heat. NAD's UcD design (developed with Bruno Putzeys) is a refined modern Class D used across NAD's HybridDigital amps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is BluOS, exactly?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBluOS is NAD's streaming platform (shared with Bluesound). It's a free Controller app on iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows. The app browses your library and 20+ streaming services, plays music to any BluOS device on your network, groups rooms together, and supports high-resolution audio up to 24-bit \/ 192 kHz with MQA decoding. The C 700 V2 has BluOS built in — no outboard streamer needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Dirac Live, and how does it work with the C 700 V2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDirac Live is room correction software. It uses a calibrated microphone to measure how your room shapes the sound from your speakers, then applies a correction profile to flatten the response. The C 700 V2 is Dirac Live Ready — buy a Dirac license (from Dirac) and a calibrated USB microphone, and you can store up to five profiles on the amp. Without the license, the C 700 V2 still works as a complete streaming amp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this have a built-in phono stage?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — new for the V2. The C 700 V2 has a moving-magnet (MM) phono input. That covers most entry-level and mid-range turntables. If your cartridge is moving-coil (MC), you'll need an external phono stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this compare to the next NAD model up?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C 399 is a much larger integrated amplifier with twice the power, dual MDC2 slots for future expansion, and more analog\/digital inputs. The C 700 V2 trades that for a one-box streaming experience in a much smaller chassis. If you want the streaming brain built in and the small footprint, this is the model. If you want more power and modular expansion, look at the C 399. Call us and we'll help you choose the right tier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use it for home theater?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C 700 V2 connects to a TV via HDMI eARC for clean two-channel TV sound. It also supports BluOS-enabled surround sound configurations — adding compatible BluOS speakers as wireless rears, plus a sub, lets you build up to a 4.1-channel system with Dolby Digital decoding. That's lighter than a full AV receiver setup, but more capable than stereo alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between the original C 700 and the C 700 V2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe V2 adds a moving-magnet phono input, refines the digital-to-analog stage for wider dynamic range and lower noise, and adds Dirac Live Ready support (the original did not run Dirac Live). The aluminum body, 5-inch display, HybridDigital UcD amplifier, and BluOS streaming brain carry over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNAD C 700 V2 BluOS Streaming Amplifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6.5' AC power cord\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBC1 remote control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 AAA batteries (for BC1 remote)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOwner's manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick Setup Guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImportant Safety Instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty Information\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBluesound Brochure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Audio Advisor?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ec-titlebox-text\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/1f3b5.svg\" alt=\"music note emoji\" width=\"20\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e40+ Years of Expertise\u003c\/strong\u003e — Since 1981, we've helped over a million music lovers find the right gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/1f504.svg\" alt=\"repeat emoji\" width=\"20\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e60-Day Money-Back Guarantee\u003c\/strong\u003e — Take your time.

It picks your source — a turntable, a streamer, a CD player — adjusts the volume, and sends the signal on to your power amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BR-20 does all of that, and much more. It is Bryston’s answer to the modern audiophile’s full front end. One box replaces four separate components: a preamplifier, a DAC (digital-to-analog converter), a network streamer, and a phono stage for vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name means something. BR-20 stands for Brian Russell — the longtime Bryston president who passed away in September 2020 at age 68. The preamp was nearly finished when he died. Bryston’s team completed it as a tribute. On their website, Bryston calls it their “most exquisite representation of musicality ever.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Analog Preamp Section\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe preamp circuit inside the BR-20 is a clean-sheet design. Bryston built it from scratch using all-new, fully discrete amplifier circuits — meaning no off-the-shelf chips in the signal path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to Bryston, the BR-20 produces the lowest noise and distortion they have ever measured in their 40-plus year history. The signal path is fully balanced from input to output. Balanced means the circuit carries two versions of the signal — one normal, one inverted — which cancels out interference picked up along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe volume control is fully analog and balanced. It uses tightly matched resistors and moves in precise 0.5dB steps. A ring of small LEDs around the volume knob shows the output level from across the room. All input switching uses physical relays — no electronic switches in the signal path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe DAC\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BR-20’s DAC (digital-to-analog converter) uses the same circuit design as Bryston’s standalone BDA-3 — a unit that sold for nearly $3,800 on its own. It handles PCM audio up to 32-bit\/384kHz and DSD up to DSD256 via USB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA re-clocking circuit inside the DAC removes jitter. Jitter is a timing error in digital audio — it causes small inconsistencies in playback that can blur the sound. The re-clocking circuit corrects those errors in real time. Independent measurements by HomeTheaterHifi.com confirmed it works as Bryston claims.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDigital inputs include AES\/EBU (XLR), coaxial S\/PDIF, optical TosLink, and USB-B. Maximum resolution depends on the input used — see the spec table below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Streamer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BR-20 has a built-in music streamer. It is based on a Raspberry Pi 4 — a fast, modern platform that loads large music libraries quickly. The BR-20 is certified \u003cstrong\u003eRoon Ready\u003c\/strong\u003e and also supports Tidal, Qobuz, and AirPlay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour USB-A ports on the rear accept drives loaded with local music files. The BR-20 does not include Wi-Fi. Bryston recommends a wired Ethernet connection and advises against Wi-Fi dongles, which they say introduce noise into the preamp’s circuitry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe MM Phono Stage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis version includes Bryston’s moving-magnet (MM) phono stage, installed at the factory. A phono stage amplifies the very small signal from a turntable cartridge up to line level. Bryston says this internal stage matches their standalone BP2-MM phono preamplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the phono stage is installed, it uses one of the RCA inputs. You still have two balanced XLR inputs and one RCA input available for other sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Headphone Amplifier\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe front-panel headphone output uses a dedicated low-impedance circuit — updated from previous Bryston preamps with more power and lower output impedance. Lower output impedance means better control over a wider range of headphones. The output uses a standard 6.35mm (¼-inch) jack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWarranty and Build\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery BR-20 is built by hand in Ontario, Canada. The analog circuitry carries Bryston’s 20-year parts-and-labor warranty. The digital components — DAC and streamer — carry a 5-year warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Are Reviewers Saying?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ec-blockquote\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGordon Brockhouse, SoundStage!

Bryston says the BR-20 achieves the lowest noise and distortion in the company’s 40-plus year history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fully balanced circuit — from input to output — rejects common-mode noise. Common-mode noise is interference that gets picked up equally on both conductors of a balanced cable.

It uses tightly matched resistors — chosen to stay accurate across the whole range of the control. Volume moves in precise 0.5dB steps. A ring of LEDs around the knob shows output level from across the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll source switching uses relays — physical switches that connect your source directly.

It is certified \u003cstrong\u003eRoon Ready\u003c\/strong\u003e and also supports Tidal, Qobuz, and AirPlay. Four USB-A ports accept drives loaded with local files.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BR-20 does not include Wi-Fi. Bryston recommends a wired Ethernet connection. They warn that Wi-Fi dongles introduce RF noise into the preamp’s circuitry, which would undermine the BR-20’s very low noise floor. Plan for a network cable to your listening room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMM Phono Stage — Included on This Model\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis version includes Bryston’s optional moving-magnet (MM) phono stage, installed at the factory. Bryston says it matches their standalone BP2-MM phono preamplifier. When installed, it uses the first RCA analog input. You still have two balanced XLR inputs and one additional RCA input for other sources. Moving-coil (MC) cartridges require an external step-up transformer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHeadphone Amplifier — Low Impedance, High Power\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe front-panel headphone output is a dedicated circuit — updated in the BR-20 with more power and lower output impedance than previous Bryston preamps. Lower output impedance means better control over a wide range of headphones, including demanding planar magnetic designs. Output uses a standard 6.35mm (¼-inch) jack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eConnectivity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BR-20 supports up to 15 sources.

You’ll need a separate power amplifier (such as a Bryston 3B³ or 4B³) and a pair of speakers. For streaming, you’ll also need a wired Ethernet connection — the BR-20 doesn’t support Wi-Fi. For vinyl, this version already includes the MM phono stage, so you can plug in a moving-magnet turntable directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the BR-20 compatible with my turntable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis version includes a moving-magnet (MM) phono stage, so it works with any turntable that uses an MM cartridge — the most common type. Moving-coil (MC) cartridges need a step-up transformer or separate MC phono stage before connecting to the BR-20. Not sure what cartridge type you have? Call us at \u003ca href=\"tel:+18009420220\"\u003e800-942-0220\u003c\/a\u003e and we’ll help you sort it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the BR-20 support Wi-Fi?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The BR-20 requires a wired Ethernet connection for streaming. Bryston strongly advises against using a Wi-Fi dongle — they found it introduces RF noise into the preamp’s circuitry, which works against the BR-20’s very low noise floor. If running a cable to your listening room isn’t easy, a Powerline Ethernet adapter is a common workaround.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the BR-20 Roon Ready?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The BR-20 is fully Roon Ready certified. It integrates directly with the Roon platform without extra setup. Many BR-20 owners use Roon as their primary playback interface rather than the built-in Manic Moose web UI.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat streaming services does the BR-20 support?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BR-20 supports Tidal and Qobuz natively through its built-in streamer. It also supports AirPlay via Shairport Sync, which lets you stream from Apple devices. Roon users can also stream from any service Roon supports. Spotify can be streamed via AirPlay as a workaround.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the 17-inch and 19-inch versions?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJust the width of the faceplate. The 17-inch fits standard home audio furniture and rack shelves. The 19-inch (this one) fits professional equipment racks. The electronics, features, and specs are identical. Pick the 19” if your gear lives in an equipment rack or if you prefer the wider look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this version include the MM phono stage?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The MM phono stage is included and factory-installed on this model. It uses the first RCA analog input — that input is not available for line-level sources. You still have two balanced XLR inputs and one RCA input free for other components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat warranty does the BR-20 carry?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe analog section is covered by Bryston’s 20-year parts-and-labor warranty — one of the longest in consumer electronics. The digital components (DAC and streamer) carry a 5-year warranty. The warranty is transferable to a second owner with the original bill of sale from an authorized dealer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I add the HDMI board later?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — but it must be installed by a qualified technician, not by the user. The optional HDMI card adds four inputs and one output, supports 4K HDR passthrough, and allows DSD audio over HDMI from SACD players. Contact us or Bryston directly for installation details and current pricing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the BR-20 support MQA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat’s in the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBryston BR-20 Stereo Preamplifier — Silver, 19” Faceplate, with MM Phono Stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBR-4 remote control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIEC AC power cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOwner’s manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty and registration documentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Audio Advisor?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ec-titlebox-text\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/1f3b5.svg\" alt=\"music note emoji\" width=\"20\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e40+ Years of Expertise\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e— Since 1981, we’ve helped over a million music lovers find the right gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/1f504.svg\" alt=\"repeat emoji\" width=\"20\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e60-Day Money-Back Guarantee\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e— Take your time.

It doesn't stream music. It has no DAC and no volume control. It's the muscle of your system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AMP-F2 was built to be that muscle at a price that was once out of reach. EverSolo teamed up with \u003cstrong\u003eStarke Sound\u003c\/strong\u003e— an amp company based in California — to build this unit around Starke's custom \u003cstrong\u003eNS600 module\u003c\/strong\u003e. The result is a compact, 8-pound amp with serious output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn stereo mode it puts out \u003cstrong\u003e145 watts per channel at 8 ohms\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e250 watts per channel at 4 ohms\u003c\/strong\u003e. In bridged mono mode it reaches \u003cstrong\u003e450 watts at 2 ohms\u003c\/strong\u003e. That's enough power for almost any speaker made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant:\u003c\/strong\u003e The AMP-F2 is a power amp only. You need a separate preamp or streamer to control volume and pick your source. It pairs well with EverSolo's DMP-A6 or DMP-A8, but works with any preamp that has XLR or RCA outputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Makes This Amp Different?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost amps at $799 use generic circuits. The AMP-F2 uses a module built by Starke Sound just for hi-fi use. The NS600 module runs \u003cstrong\u003ePurePath Ultra-HD technology\u003c\/strong\u003e with fast error-correction feedback. This keeps distortion very low across all frequencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe amp switches internally at up to \u003cstrong\u003e600kHz\u003c\/strong\u003e — far above what you can hear. A faster switching rate means the amp tracks the music signal more closely. The \u003cstrong\u003eSAPS power supply\u003c\/strong\u003e feeds the circuit a clean, stable signal with very low noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSignal-to-noise ratio tops 110dB. Total distortion is 0.003% at 10 watts. Those are numbers you'd expect from amps that cost much more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBridged Mono: What It Means and When to Use It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AMP-F2 is \u003cstrong\u003ebridgeable\u003c\/strong\u003e. Flip a switch on the back and both channels combine into one powerful mono channel — up to 450W at 2 ohms. In that mode, the amp drives a single speaker. You'd use one AMP-F2 per channel of your system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost people won't need this. Standard stereo mode is plenty for most setups. But if your speakers are very hard to drive, or you want to run two AMP-F2 units as mono blocks, bridging gives you the extra power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Are Listeners \u0026amp; Reviewers Saying?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AMP-F2 has earned strong praise from listeners and audio fans since it launched.

Speakers and speaker cables are also required and not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat preamp or streamer pairs best with the AMP-F2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverSolo designed the AMP-F2 to work alongside their DMP-A6 and DMP-A8 streamer\/DAC\/preamps. A USB-to-Trigger cable is included so the two units power on and off together. That said, the AMP-F2 works with any preamp that has XLR or RCA balanced outputs. If you'd like help picking the right pairing, give us a call at 800-942-0220.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does \"bridged mono\" mean, and do I need it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBridging combines both channels of the amp into a single, more powerful mono channel. In bridged mode the AMP-F2 delivers up to 450W at 2 ohms — enough for almost any speaker. Most listeners won't need it. It's most useful for very power-hungry speakers or for building a dual mono-block setup with two AMP-F2 units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat speakers work with the AMP-F2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlmost any passive speaker. The AMP-F2 can handle loads as low as 0.8 ohms and delivers up to 16.5 amps of output current per channel. This gives it the ability to drive demanding, low-impedance speakers that would challenge less powerful amps. It pairs equally well with efficient bookshelf speakers and hungry floorstanders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs there a remote control or volume control on the amp itself?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The AMP-F2 is a pure power amplifier with no volume control and no remote. Volume is controlled by your preamp or streamer. Power on\/off can be automated via the 12V trigger connection — when your preamp or EverSolo streamer powers on, the AMP-F2 follows automatically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the AMP-F2 run hot?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Class D amplifiers are very efficient. The AMP-F2's heat output is rated at 65 BTU per hour — about the same as a light bulb. It draws only 14 watts at idle. You can safely place it in a closed or semi-enclosed rack without worrying about heat buildup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the AMP-F2 differ from the EverSolo AMP-F10?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AMP-F10 is EverSolo's higher-powered Class AB amplifier. Class AB designs use a traditional analog output stage with a large transformer and large capacitors — the AMP-F10 weighs significantly more and runs warmer. The AMP-F2 uses a more modern Class D design. Both are capable amplifiers, but at different price points and with different sonic characters. Call us if you'd like help deciding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the AMP-F2 work with my existing non-EverSolo preamp?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The AMP-F2 has standard XLR and RCA inputs and works with any preamp that has those outputs. You won't get the automatic USB trigger sync you'd have with an EverSolo DMP-A6, but you can still use the 12V trigger input if your preamp supports it. Otherwise, simply switch it on manually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSee It in Action\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEverSolo DMP-A10 Review — Darko Audio\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDarko Audio's video review of the EverSolo DMP-A10.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iuKIVDDR_mE?si=ygzSyJZoHVeLGe0a\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ec-titlebox-text\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/1f3b5.svg\" alt=\"music note emoji\" width=\"20\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e40+ Years of Expertise\u003c\/strong\u003e — Since 1981, we've helped over a million music lovers find the right gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/1f504.svg\" alt=\"repeat emoji\" width=\"20\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e60-Day Money-Back Guarantee\u003c\/strong\u003e — Take your time.

The chassis has also been upgraded to aerospace-grade aluminum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything that made the original great — the streaming, the DAC chips, the screen, the app — is still here. The Gen 2 just does it all with less noise and more features.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between the DMP-A6 Gen 2 and the Master Edition Gen 2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth units are the same size and do the same jobs. The Master Edition ($1,099) adds upgraded Accusilicon femtosecond clocks and better OPA1612 op-amps (vs. OPA1642 in the standard). The standard Gen 2 is the better value if you want the core streaming and DAC performance without the clock upgrades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need anything else to use the DMP-A6 Gen 2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll need an amplifier or powered speakers. Connect the DMP-A6 Gen 2's XLR or RCA outputs to your amp, plug in Ethernet or Wi-Fi, and you're ready to play. No computer required for streaming. For local music, you can add an M.2 SSD (sold separately).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it work as a pure streaming transport without using its DAC?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Use the USB-A, coaxial, or optical digital outputs to feed a separate DAC. The DMP-A6 Gen 2 sends the digital audio to your external DAC and does nothing else. Many users who own a high-end external DAC do exactly this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the DMP-A6 Gen 2 Roon Ready?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — it is officially Roon Ready. Set it up as a Roon endpoint and control everything from the Roon app on a tablet or laptop. No extra configuration needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect my TV to the DMP-A6 Gen 2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The HDMI ARC input lets you connect your TV's HDMI ARC output directly. TV audio — movies, video streaming, gaming — plays through your hi-fi system. This is one of the most useful new features in Gen 2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the DMP-A6 Gen 2 have analog inputs for a turntable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — the DMP-A6 Gen 2 accepts digital sources only. There are no analog inputs. If you need to connect a turntable or other analog source, look at the DMP-A8, which includes XLR and RCA analog inputs. Give us a call at 800-942-0220 and we'll help you choose the right model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs a remote control included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The DMP-A6 Gen 2 does not include a remote. You control it from the touchscreen or the free EverSolo Control App on your phone or tablet. EverSolo's Bluetooth remote is available as a separate purchase if you'd prefer a physical control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the DMP-A6 Gen 2 compare to the DMP-A8?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DMP-A8 ($1,980) adds several things the A6 Gen 2 doesn't have: analog inputs (XLR and RCA), an R2R hardware volume control, more connectivity options (including I2S output), and a larger chassis. If you want to connect analog sources or need the most complete preamp setup, the A8 is the step up. The Gen 2 is the stronger value if streaming and DAC duties are all you need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I install a drive for local music storage?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

This gives the BR-20 the capability to dramatically enhance the sound of older digital source components while providing the high resolution and interconnectivity of modern and future devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBuilt-in Digital Playback\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eBryston's BDA-3.14 was an instant success, combining a digital preamp, a DAC, and Bryston's much loved BDP-Pi. The BR-20 improves on this formula by upgrading to a faster Raspberry Pi 4 with more RAM, faster processing, gigabit ethernet, and USB 3.0 connectivity – which means that the user experience will be smoother, large library handling is better, and the BR-20 is perfectly equipped to handle years of new features and other software improvements. The built-in audio player will natively pass PCM and DSD up to 384kHz and DSD128 respectively to the DAC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSACD and HDMI\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eOne of the best loved features of Bryston's original BDA-3 is the unusual ability to decode DSD over HDMI. With the optional HDMI card, audiophiles can connect compatible SACD players to the BR-20 over HDMI for a big sound quality boost. Furthermore, if your hi-fi shares living space with your TV, you'll love being able to connect 4K and HDR sources like Apple TV, Blu-Ray, and more.

You can even use a smartphone or another web enabled device to adjust volume, change sources, and adjust balance. You can even rename inputs to something easy to remember and hide those you don't use. Those who cherish a dark listening room can dim or disable front panel LEDs and display.

Its model number is a direct nod to the mathematical constant π — because the 3.14 is literally the contents of two Bryston products merged into one chassis: the BDA-3 DAC and the BDP-Pi streaming player.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) takes a digital audio signal — from a CD player, a music file, a streaming service — and converts it into the analog signal your amplifier can use. The BDA-3 is the DAC Bryston considers their best, and the one that earned a Class A+ rating from Stereophile’s Larry Greenhill. The BDP-Pi is Bryston’s streaming player, built around a Raspberry Pi single-board computer with Bryston’s Manic Moose software running on top. Separately, those two components cost around $5,290. The BDA-3.14 packages both for $4,195 — and connects them via I2S, the highest-quality internal digital interface available, rather than the USB or S\/PDIF connections you’d use if the two sat on a shelf side by side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DAC section decodes digital audio in essentially any format you might encounter today: PCM files up to 384kHz at 32 bits, and DSD up to DSD256 (four times the rate of a standard DSD file). Every format plays back natively — the BDA-3.14 doesn’t convert DSD to PCM or down-sample high-resolution files before converting them. Bit-perfect from input to analog output is Bryston’s stated design goal, and the architecture supports it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe analog output section is the same one found in the BDA-3: fully discrete, built entirely from individual transistors with no integrated circuit chips in the signal path. IC chips are common because they’re compact and inexpensive, but Bryston argues they limit the bandwidth and dynamic range that a purely discrete design can achieve. The output stage is Class A, fully balanced, delivering 4.0 volts on the XLR outputs and 2.0 volts on the RCA outputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe streaming section adds a built-in Ethernet port, two USB Type-A ports for external drives, and Bryston’s Manic Moose software — which connects to Qobuz, Tidal, Internet radio, NAS-attached storage, and USB-connected drives, and supports Roon as a playback endpoint, as well as AirPlay, DLNA\/UPnP, Squeezelite, and MPD. The unit is controlled via the Manic Moose app on phones and tablets, or through a web browser by navigating to my.bryston.com on any device connected to your network.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BDA-3.14 also adds something the BDA-3 lacks: a digital volume control. This lets you connect the balanced or single-ended outputs directly to a power amplifier and use the BDA-3.14 as a full digital preamplifier — eliminating one more box and one more set of cables. The volume control uses the 32-bit headroom built into the AK4490 DAC chips, which means bit loss at lower volume settings is not substantial enough to cause audible degradation, as it would be on a 24-bit platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, the BDA-3.14 is the only Bryston DAC to offer HDMI connectivity: four HDMI inputs accept audio from Blu-ray players, SACD players, game consoles, or any HDMI-equipped source. This is significant because HDMI is the only interface that can pass DSD audio from an SACD player’s disc drive — making the BDA-3.14 a genuine high-resolution SACD processor. A fifth HDMI port on the rear panel passes the video signal through to your display, so your Blu-ray player still connects to your TV through the BDA-3.14 without any loss of picture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a digital product, the BDA-3.14 carries a \u003cstrong\u003e5-year parts and labor warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e — Bryston’s standard for digital electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote for buyers considering the BDA-3.14 primarily for its streaming features:\u003c\/em\u003e The Manic Moose platform has been updated since the product’s 2019 launch and works well as a Roon endpoint.

The DAC section of the BDA-3.14 is built on the same architecture: a pair of AK4490 32-bit DAC chips in a dual-mono balanced configuration, the same discrete Class A analog output stage, and the same re-clocking circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e384kHz\/32-bit PCM, DSD256 — Natively\u003c\/strong\u003e — The BDA-3.14 handles the full range of current high-resolution formats via its direct digital inputs. PCM files play at up to 384kHz at 32 bits. DSD files play natively up to DSD256 (four times standard DSD). Every format is processed in its native form — no conversion to PCM before the DAC, no re-sampling that could introduce artifacts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUltra-Precise Re-Clocking\u003c\/strong\u003e — Jitter is the enemy of digital audio: timing irregularities in the digital signal translate into distortion artifacts in the analog output. Bryston’s re-clocking circuit reduces jitter to nearly unmeasurable levels. All signals — including those from the internal streaming module — pass through this circuit before reaching the DAC chips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiscrete Class A Analog Output Stage — No ICs in the Signal Path\u003c\/strong\u003e — The analog output section uses only individual transistors, capacitors, and resistors. Integrated circuit chips are deliberately avoided. According to Bryston, IC chips limit the bandwidth and dynamic range of the analog output stage. Output level is 4.0 volts balanced (XLR) and 2.0 volts single-ended (RCA).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDigital Volume Control — Use It as a Preamplifier\u003c\/strong\u003e — The AK4490 chips operate at 32 bits. Bryston uses this headroom for digital volume control: at even modest volume reductions, the bit loss on a 32-bit platform is not large enough to cause audible degradation. This makes the BDA-3.14 a genuine digital preamplifier — connect it directly to a power amp and eliminate a separate preamp from your system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStreaming \u0026amp; Connectivity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStreaming via Built-In Raspberry Pi, Connected by I2S\u003c\/strong\u003e — Rather than adding a separate streaming module connected via USB or S\/PDIF, Bryston fitted a Raspberry Pi single-board computer internally and connected it to the DAC’s sample-rate converter board using I2S — a digital audio interface that preserves audio and clock data with virtually zero error. This is the ideal connection between a streaming device and a DAC, and it’s what you’d need to build yourself to replicate it externally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoon Ready, Qobuz, Tidal, AirPlay, NAS, Internet Radio\u003c\/strong\u003e — The Manic Moose software on the Raspberry Pi connects to streaming services directly. Roon Ready certification means the BDA-3.14 is a fully supported Roon endpoint. AirPlay lets iPhones, Macs, and iTunes libraries on Windows stream to the BDA-3.14 at up to CD resolution.

Content above that resolution, or any DSD file, is automatically down-sampled to 192\/24 when played via the internal streamer. For files above 192kHz or native DSD playback, use the BDA-3.14’s direct digital inputs (USB Type-B, AES\/EBU, SPDIF, or HDMI) from a computer or transport that sends the full-resolution signal directly to the DAC section.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHDMI Inputs — SACD, Blu-ray, and More\u003c\/strong\u003e — Four 2-channel HDMI inputs accept audio from any HDMI-equipped source. This includes SACD players that can output DSD data over HDMI — giving the BDA-3.14 full SACD decoding capability.

That could be a power amplifier and passive speakers, an integrated amplifier, or a pair of active (powered) speakers. If you use the variable output setting, the BDA-3.14 handles volume control and you don’t need a separate preamplifier. For streaming, you’ll need a home network with an Ethernet connection to your router. Everything else — Qobuz, Tidal, Roon, NAS — connects through the network or directly to the unit’s inputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use the BDA-3.14 without a separate preamplifier?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The BDA-3.14 includes a digital volume control and variable analog outputs — balanced XLR and single-ended RCA. Set the output to variable, connect the XLR outputs to a power amplifier’s balanced inputs, and the BDA-3.14 controls your volume directly. This works especially well with active loudspeakers: one box becomes your entire digital front end. If you prefer to use a separate preamplifier, set the BDA-3.14 to fixed output and let the preamp handle volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is I2S, and why does it matter that the BDA-3.14 uses it internally?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI2S (Inter-IC Sound) is a digital audio bus standard developed specifically for connecting digital audio chips to each other inside a device. It carries audio data and the clock signal on separate wires — most external formats like USB or S\/PDIF carry both together, which can introduce timing errors (jitter). Because the Raspberry Pi in the BDA-3.14 is physically inside the chassis, Bryston connects it to the DAC’s sample-rate converter board directly via I2S. The result is a cleaner digital handoff than any external streamer-to-DAC connection can achieve with the same hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does the internal streamer max out at 192kHz? Can I still play higher-resolution files?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — with a caveat about the path. The Raspberry Pi inside the BDA-3.14 limits the internal streaming module to 192kHz\/24-bit PCM. Audio above that resolution (352.8, 384kHz PCM, or any DSD) is automatically down-sampled to 192\/24 when it plays through the internal streamer — this includes Roon streams that route through the Pi. This is a Raspberry Pi hardware limitation, not a DAC limitation. To play files at full resolution above 192kHz, connect a computer or high-resolution transport directly to the BDA-3.14’s asynchronous USB input or AES\/EBU input. The DAC section handles 384kHz PCM and DSD256 natively via those inputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the BDA-3.14 work with Roon?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — it’s Roon Ready certified. Your Roon Core (running on a PC, NAS, or Roon Nucleus) sees the BDA-3.14 on your network and uses it as an endpoint. Audio streams from the Core to the BDA-3.14’s internal streamer, then to the DAC. As noted above, Roon audio routed through the internal streamer is limited to 192\/24. For higher-resolution Roon playback, connect a Roon-compatible source directly to the BDA-3.14’s USB input and use that as your Roon endpoint instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use the HDMI inputs with my SACD or Blu-ray player?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, and this is one of the BDA-3.14’s most distinctive features. HDMI is the only interface that can pass DSD audio data from an SACD player’s disc drive. Connect your SACD player’s HDMI output to one of the BDA-3.14’s four HDMI audio inputs, and the BDA-3.14 decodes the DSD audio using its own high-quality DAC circuitry — which almost certainly outperforms the DAC built into your player. The HDMI output on the BDA-3.14’s rear panel simultaneously passes the video signal from that input to your TV or display. The same setup works with Blu-ray players for 2-channel lossless audio — the BDA-3.14 receives the signal and converts it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat streaming services does the BDA-3.14 support?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQobuz, Tidal, and Internet radio are built in through the Manic Moose software. Roon Ready certification means any Roon library is accessible. AirPlay lets you stream from an iPhone, iPad, Mac, or iTunes library on a Windows PC. DLNA\/UPnP opens compatibility with many other media servers. Squeezelite compatibility allows use with Logitech Media Server. NAS drives on your home network and USB-connected drives are also accessible. Spotify is not natively supported — verify current software state with Bryston, as Manic Moose has been updated since the 2019 launch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the warranty compare to Bryston’s other products?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BDA-3.14 is a digital product, so it carries Bryston’s 5-year parts and labor warranty — the same as all Bryston digital electronics. Bryston’s analog electronics (amplifiers, preamplifiers) carry a longer warranty. The 5-year warranty on the BDA-3.14 is still very strong by industry standards for digital components; most DACs and streamers carry 1–3 years. Keep your original purchase receipt from Audio Advisor as your proof of purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the BDA-3.14 still worth buying, or has it been replaced?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs of this writing, the BDA-3.14 remains Bryston’s current streaming DAC with HDMI. The combination of the BDA-3 DAC platform, I2S-connected internal streaming, four HDMI inputs, and a discrete Class A analog output stage is still a compelling and somewhat unique set of features at this price point.
