HI Folks,

We have some excellent reviews coming on the Bryston BDA3 DAC - Absolute Sound - Stereophile (December issue) - Canada Hi-Fi and this one from a

French audio magazine called Magazine TED.

Hi Folks,

Sneak Peak

The very extensive review on the BDA-3 DAC will be out shortly – Stereophile December issue.

There are 4 pages of measurements from John Atkinson and his conclusion was:

“With its extremely low levels of noise, harmonic and intermodulation distortion, and its superb resolution, the Bryston BDA-3 offers measured performance that is as good as digital can get.”—John Atkinson
(In other words you can spend much more money but you can not buy better performance than the BDA-3)



And from Larry Greenhill the BDA-3 reviewer:

“I recommend that the BDA-3 be listed in Class A+ of Stereophile’s ‘Recommended Components’.”


I will have a PDF of the full review in a few days.

High praise indeed! And this non-professional reviewer/owner agrees!

Hi James,

I just got my new BDA-3 all hooked up.

I finally sat down and started to play different sources and WOW!…What a difference from what I had before! I have played some SACDs, DVD-audio, DSD and my ripped CDs and in some, hear things I hadn’t heard before.

BTW, I found out that you can actually control the BDA-3 with a Harmony remote, you just have to set it up, I can actually switch inputs! (I had read some posts complaining it couldn’t be done?)

Anyhow, thanks for all your support and putting up with all my questions.

Favourite Quote:

The Bryston BDA-3 is the best-sounding DAC the company has ever made and is one of the most open, accurate D/A converters on the market.

Couple the pristine sonic character with the plethora of connection options, and you got yourself one mighty fine piece of hi-fi gear.

Dear all at Bryston,

A couple of weeks ago I bought a used Bryston DAC to pair with my new Meridian Media Core 200 and my well used Sugden Masterclass IA4 amp with Harbeth Monitor 30 speakers- yes, I live in England, a stones throw from where Beatles came from.

I would like to say that your DAC is truly fantastic in its music making and blends beautifully in my system.

Until now I was mainly listening on LPs, and disregarded CD replay-(A Naim CD player) - I am now enjoying digital music again.

I did try few DACs before and what I like the best about Bryston is, in my humble non-specialist opinion, the focus on the reproduction of music to a very high level without the audio fatigue, and the soundstage it produces. Well done and great work in producing this great equipment.

I do not buy Hi-fi equipment often, but in the future if I am looking to upgrade, Bryston is right up there in my list. Meanwhile, I will advise my hi-fi non-believer friends and colleagues to try one themselves to see the light.

Best wishes and Merry Christmas.

Happy New Year James !

Just playing around with Bluerays via the Bda3...and I am amazed how superb the PCM layers sound ...Live concerts by Diana Krall, Christ Bottu and Jose Feliciano have a level of details, precision and intimacy, which is stunning...I dont miss the surround layers at all...really a bit surprise...

Cheers !
Tom
