Bryston BDP2 Getting Started

BDP2: Getting Started

Step 1: Get Connected

Your new Bryston BDP-2 oers three ways to connect to your DAC. The best choice for you will
depend on which DAC you own. If you have a Bryston BDA-1 or BDA-2 DAC, the AES/EBU connec­tion will deliver the best sound quality. If you want to play DSD encoded les, you’ll need to use
the USB connection. You can use any or all of the connection options simultaneously.

USB: PCM or DSD

If your DAC features a high quality
USB input, use any of the 6 USB
ports as outputs. To play DSD les,
you must use the USB output and
have a DAC that can accept “DoP”
or DSD over PCM.

S/PDIF or AES/EBU: PCM

ONLY

Virtually all DACs oer a S/PDIF input
as either an RCA or BNC input jack.
Make sure your digital interconnect
has a BNC connector on the source
end to t the BDP-2.
AES/EBU oers slightly better sound
quality, so if your DAC can accept it,
you may prefer to use a balanced
AES/EBU interconnect instead of
S/PDIF.

POWER

Plug it into your AC
power.

MULTIPLE OUTPUTS: All outputs on the BDP-2 can be connected at once. For instance, you

can connect the AES/EBU output to your audiophile stereo system while the S/PDIF output plays
the same music to your whole-house audio system. Or, you can use a USB output for your DSD
les and S/PDIF for PCM.
