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 (https://www.logitech.com/en-gb/harmony-universal-remotes)

There is a Stereophile review (https://www.stereophile.com/digitalprocessors/bryston_bda-1_da_converter) 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.
