Not directly, Hamish, but I've tried a number of sources from my new Pioneer Blu-ray player as a transport (CDs, DVD-As, SACDs) and they all sound very good. The BM can't match my Ayre C-5xe MP player with its minimum phase filter, but then that's a very unfair comparison (£4k versus £200 = 5% of the price). What the BM loses to the Ayre is ultimate dynamic clout.

However, for the sources that I use with the BM - Sky HD, Blu-ray, Logitech Touch - it's an outstanding DAC and has seriously improved my enjoyment of all those sources.
