Considering Bryston BDA-1 for non-USB use


I currently own a PS Digital Link III and am considering the purchase of the BDA-1. I do not use the USB input as I believe in USB/SPDIF conversion as separate device. I need an additional SPDIF input for transport. Dac feeds signal to Jolida fusion then to BEL 100 MKV to Esoteric MG10s. Thanks in advance for any input.

I have a BDA-1 and love it, however I have never used its USB inputs. Only digital coax (and optical for my less critical and remotely located DTV cable box).

I particularly like the Class A analog circuitry (the reason I bought it) and have used it to improve the output sound quality of an CA 840 CD deck as well as duty for the output of a PS Audio PWT. I am now using with a BDP-1.
