If there was a deficiency with network playback it would be well known and the Bryston would not be able to hold Class A status in today’s market of NETWORK enabled streamers.
Regardless of that the interface is inconvenient for any large library of files whether they are on the network or a local drive. Also many people do not have large collections of files and rely on a streaming service, or a combination thereof.

I have read other reviews indicating the local USB drives on the BDP-3 provides the best sonic experience, and I will post them when I find them.
Also, Chris from Bryston, sent me what is called a "harness" to fix the two front USB inputs, but I don't know how to put it on as there was no instruction. Are you familiar with this "harness?"
