Bryston BDA-2 vs PS Audio PerfectWave DAC MKII
Lunchy replied to mvilla's topic in DAC - Digital to Analog Conversion
I should be placing an order for an AMR DP-777 today. I was also interested in the Luxman DA-06 but I never got a reply from their importer so tough beans for them. -

No, while I haven't heard the BDA-2 my understanding is that the BDA-1 and BDA-2 sound very similar despite the internal changes. The real difference between the two being the upgraded Async USB input in the BDA-2. But again, I have no experience with the BDA-2. -

I've recently done this comparison against my BDA-1 and I MUCH preferred the PS Audio DAC. It had more focus in the soundstage and was a bit more forward (a very good thing IMO). It also put out more bass. As the review on this site states if I remember correctly, it had a very pleasant tubey sound, but not overdone. While the looks of the PS Audio don't do much for me, I really wanted to keep this DAC. However, the one thing I really didn't like about it was how slow it locks onto changing sampling rates. After doing this comparison I'm in the market for a warmer/smoother DAC. -Casey
