Praise follows BDP-3 hiccup
As some readers may recall, I dumped my Aurender a few months ago in favor of a BDP-3. My only regret has been that I didn't make the change sooner.
But today, after months of use and lord knows how many hours of service, the BDP-3 hiccuped. Nothing would load and rebooting didn't help. So I used the "restore to factory state" tool, as I had many, many times with the Aurender. But here are the differences:
This is the way audio components are supposed to work. Kudos to Bryston.

Bravo!
There is a big difference between an established audio company with a 40 year track record of outstanding service and the best warranties in the business and an 11 yo newcomer with a lot to learn about customer support.

Nice comment on the BDP3, and you didn't even think about complaining about the interface. I feel like you, the BDP is a great piece of gear. I see, you too, own Infinity Speakers. All my speakers are Infinitys from the Prelude Composition PF-R to the Infinity RS-5b. As the slogan goes, "There is Nothing Beyond Infinity."

I had a similar experience when I upgraded from the BDP-2 to the BDP-3 in January. It took me less than 1 hour to swap the internal SSD from one to the other and have everything back up and running, without a single hiccup.
