Joining the BDP-2 in Bryston’s lineup of digital players for music enthusiasts, the Bryston BDP-π is a compact digital entertainment hub with connection to an external drive, access to Internet radio stations and support for lossless TIDAL streaming (subscription required). The BDP-π is also a Roon Ready device. Roon Labs has created a software solution that delivers the ultimate user experience by merging Bryston’s BDP digital playback hardware with an intuitive, graphically rich music library management and playback software.
“Feedback from our sales channel has indicated that there was a market for a compact digital music player at a lower price point as long as performance remained superb,” explains Bryston VP James Tanner. “We have been able to bring together key technologies in order to make the BDP-π a reality and deliver Bryston quality digital entertainment to more music enthusiasts.”
The compact digital player, available in silver or black faceplates with an MSRP of $1295, features four USB 2.0 ports and Ethernet (10/100 Mbps) and can be controlled remotely via IR or TCP/IP from iOS and Android mobile devices, or desktop computers. Playback is exclusively from USB drives - NAS connectivity is supported - and it requires an external DAC.
