If you want to go ahead and post them, - the differences are dramatic.

They are dramatically different.
If you didn't mean the Mi890, - then please let us know which.
The fact remains that the Bryston, The Aries, and the Sonore, are CUSTOM, and have at least 4 major (MAINBOARD) differences.
That is the board in the BDP-2. The reference photo from the Mouser catalog I posted doesn't have the heat sink installed because it's not sold with the board (it's up to the customer to choose a heat sink based on the thermal environment). I suspect that is what you're getting hung up on. Also, the reference photo is for the D4 board revision which had two DIMM sockets while Bryston appears to using just one DIMM socket which is the D5 revision. But the board layouts are identical down to the detail. I can even see in the Bryston pictures where they have removed the back panel connector block for the onboard audio by pulling it off the pin block and desoldered the VGA connector.
Another thing that made it pretty easy to figure out that they had upgraded to the iBASE MI890 is that it's pretty much the only single board computer available whose form factor and connector layout matches that of the PC Machines ALIX.1. Choosing pretty much anything else would have required more redesign.
I also failed to notice that the Bryston DOES have a PCI slot, - the Bryston has a card in it....
pulling the VGA/video connector will likely improve the sound.
