Hi

No - it is designed to be used with the BDP-2 as the software is what allows it to connect and operate. The idea is that the BDP-2 is used to store the files in 'memory' and that is what you are listening too - you are listening to the buffered signal not directly from the drive itself.

Are you able to provide a status update on the BOT-1 progress. I just received my new BDA-2 and am wanting to determine a path forward that may include the BDP-2 but am waiting for the BOT-1 to make a final decision. Also considering upgrading my transport but would strongly consider the BOT-1 through the BDP-2 to play CDs as an alternative.

Also has it been decided if the BOT-1 will be slot load or not. The prototype indicated a tray load but you indicated a slot load may be used. My preference would be the the tray load as I have owned both types of transports and preferred the tray. Heck my real favorite is top load but am sure that was never considered.

Thanks

Hi,

We are looking at building a prototype in the next few weeks and will make a decision. We are going with slot load if we do as it will operate off a USB input whereas tray load needs an esata connection.

Hi Folks,

Chris put together an update on the Bryston BOT-1 Drive which is attached to the BDP-2 and allows for CD playback.

Is this unit suppose to allow you to rip redbook CDs directly into the BDP-1 or 2?

Correct as well as listen to them through the BDP without ripping.

Does one need to employ any additional ripping software ?

It will have its own ripping software.
