Roon-Ready Player Built Around Raspberry Pi® and HifiBerry®Bryston’s BDP digital music players let you hear a perfect replica of high resolution studio masters with incredible detail and breathtaking realism. Unlike other digital music players, the sole purpose of the BDP series is to play your music with the greatest possible fidelity and without burdening the listener with the need for deep computer knowledge to operate the player. This tradition continues with Bryston's newest model. Built upon the Raspberry Pi® and HifiBerry® platform, the new BDP-Pi is faster and more capable than Bryston's classic BDP-1, but it fits in a chassis that's only one-third as wide as the company's full-size gear and it costs less than half the price of a flagship BDP-2 music player. And like Bryston's full-size digital players, the BDP-Pi is Roon-ready. "It just works," notes Gordon Brockhouse in his wifihifi.ca review. "Excellent sound... No fuss, no muss: just connect the BDP-Pi to your home network and enter the player’s address into your Web browser." "A Rich, Roon-ready Slice of Raspberry Pi"DigitalAudioReview.net's John H. Darko calls the BDP-Pi "a rich, Roon-ready slice of Raspberry Pi… That display screen will likely see this piece o’ Pi demand pride of price in any hifi rack." According to Tomasz Karasinsky in a StereoLifeMagazine.com review for August 23, 2016, "The BDP-Pi is also a Roon Ready device. Roon Labs has created a software solution that delivers the ultimate user experience by merging Bryston's exceptional BDP digital playback hardware with an intuitive, graphically rich music library management and playback software. Users get the superb sound of Bryston digital players with a highly refined user interface." "Bryston’s BDP-Pi is clearly more than a mere digital Pplayer, because the many sided capable hardware is completely adaptable to the user with connectivity, formats, resolutions, operation, and range of functions," notes Philipp Schneckenburger, HiFi Einsnull. "Besides this the high aspirations of the Canadians in matters of workmanship and sound is maintained even with their smallest system." Plays Your Music with Thrilling RealismThe BDP-Pi is a dedicated high resolution digital audio player that offers playback from USB drives of virtually all common digital music file types. It doesn't have a built-in DAC. Following Bryston's tried and true philosophy of focusing on one function, and focusing on it brilliantly, the BDP-Pi plays your music with thrilling realism, leaving the digital-to-analog conversion to the DAC of your choice (though you won't do any better than hitching the BDP-Pi to a Bryston DAC). Add Qobuz to your BDPBryston has just released firmware for all of its BDP players that includes support for the new-to-the-USA streaming service Qobuz. Qobuz offers tens of millions of tracks at resolutions ranging from CD quality 44.1 kHz 16 bits all the way up to ultra high resolution 192kHz 24 bits. New Bryston firmware adds Qobuz to the Default view of Media Player within Bryston's own Manic Moose user interface. First, sign up for a Qobuz account if you haven't already. Then click here for information on how to upgrade your Bryston firmware. Ins and OutsInputs consist of four USB 2.0 interfaces and one Ethernet (10/100 Mbps) jack. Outputs include one each SPDIF (RCA), Optical (TOSLINK), HDMI, and USB 2.0. For system integration and control, the BDP-Pi includes IR and TCP/IP connections. Your DAC + BDP-Pi = Exponential PleasureVirtually any DAC can be connected to the BDP-Pi via the on-board S/PDIF and Toslink connectors. Also, get ultra-high resolution by connecting a USB DAC. Connect an external USB drive containing your music library, stream your favorite internet radio stations, and enjoy lossless TIDAL streaming, all on the BDP-Pi. A high-resolution front panel graphic display lets you keep track of what’s going on and stay in full control. For increased capability, pair your BDP-Pi with an optional Bryston BOT-1 (sold separately) for ripping, playing, and burning CD's. Note: External DAC required. Overview
