About the BDP-II
The Bryston BDP-II is a high-resolution digital music player and file transport supporting a wide range of formats including AIFF, FLAC, WAV, MP3, and M4A at resolutions up to 24-bit/192 kHz. It offers six USB 2.0 inputs (two front, four rear) for external drives, plus an eSATA input and an internal SATA bay for optional drive installation. The BDP-II outputs digital audio only, via SPDIF (BNC) and AES/EBU (XLR), and must be used with an external DAC for analog output. An Intel Atom-powered, Linux-based platform with increased processing power and memory over the BDP-1 enables faster library indexing and more responsive operation. Connectivity includes dual Gigabit Ethernet ports with NAS and UPnP/DLNA server support, two RS-232 ports, 12V trigger, and user-upgradable firmware, as well as local front-panel controls, the BR-2 IR remote, and Bryston's web apps for mobile and desktop over a home network. The unit is designed with no moving parts by default.
