    Default Bryston BDA-1 DAC

    Here for sale is my Bryston BDA-1 DAC.
    Lovely pristine sound, of course. Bryston quality, built like a tank. Dual mono Crystal DAC chips. Perfect cosmetic condition, no issues or problems with operation.
    Multiple digital input formats (USB, AES/EBU, coaxial, 3x Toslink Optical), balanced and unbalanced analog outputs. 24 bit/192k.
    Boxed in original packaging with owners manual.
    £950 inc UK shipping.

    Very nice DAC. I am very pleased with mine. However, the list of inputs is wrong I think. There are two TosLink (optical), four S/PDIF (coaxial - 2 x RCA, 2 x BNC), one AES/EBU XLR, and one USB 1.1

    The Bryston remote costs an arm and a leg, but mine works very well with a Logitech Harmony Remote

    There is a Stereophile review that's worth a read:
    "The Bryston BDA-1 let me enjoy the best-sounding digital playback I've ever heard in my listening room, outshining even Bryston's own BCD-1 CD player. This might be related to the fact that the BDA-1 has two Crystal CS4398s vs the BCD-1's single chip."

    D'oh! Yes, thanks for pointing that out - I think I was getting the inputs confused between this and my Leema Elements DAC which is also for sale here!

    To confirm, there are indeed 1 USB input, 2 Toslink Optical, 1 AES/EBU XLR and 4 SPDIF (2 RCA and 2 BNC).

    I should also clarify that this does not come with a Bryston remote control, but as mentioned above it will work with a 3rd party remote if you need that functionality.
