Audiostream Review; Bryston BDP-2/BDA-2

Yet another review where the BDP-2, and similar purpose built audio devices destroys a Mac Book Pro/USB set up.

"For the final switch, I connected the BDA-2 DAC directly to my MacBook Pro (running Audirvana Plus) via USB and the differences without the BDP-2 in the picture were notable. First off bass response became much more diffuse and overall there was a lessing of the sense of fine grained resolution I got with the Bryston combo. Images were less distinct, tone colors were less distinct as well, and dynamics appeared to take a few steps in the wrong direction, becoming less snappy. There's no question that the BDP-2 network player offers improved performance over the MacBook Pro in most important areas."
