If you REALLY want to know...first it has much, much higher quality parts...
secondly, it has an HDMI output...(along with USB, and SPDIF)
thirdly, it can be used with any DLNA/UPnP set up and you can
dump the horror that is LMS..you can connect up to 4 hard drives and use the excellent sounding
MPD playback system if you don't have a remote library..it has WAY MORE processing horsepower..
it is actually SUPPORTED by a full time customer support team...
Bonus: Made in North America....

I had a look at http://www.bryston.com/PDF/Manuals/BDP-PI_MANUAL.pdf
Can't find any reference to DLNA.
Does it really support DLNA?
The Well Tempered Computer
I called Bryston about 90 ago and they confirmed DLNA functionality and NAS connectivity. They are discontinuing the BDP-1 and migrating over the firmware. Unless things have changed since then...which is certainly possible.
perhaps they should actually mention that in the BDP-PI manual .You will not find the term DLNA or the words "living" or "alliance" in that document.
edit: Also, here is the line brochure.

Even your beloved Micro Rendu can run LMS (The only reason I was even interested).
So, this unit cannot stream Spotify, Deezer, Qobuz ----
OP - You are correct, The SBT is heads and tails above this unit !

He is the 2nd or 3rd most responsible person for keeping the Squeezebox/LMS going after Logitiech killed it. A simple search of John's many posts reveals that he has been working on a "new Squeezebox" hardware endpoint for years.
The microRendu was designed by JohnS & built for LMS. All the first aspects of the testing phase were using the hardware with LMS. Adding in MPD/DLNA functionality was almost an afterthought. And, I believe that the SBT was approved as a ROON endpoint even before the microRendu. Since the microRendu IS A BETTER SBT, its Roon approval came easily. Other than Mr. Herger and a few others, one can almost safely say, that John could be the reason why you're still using LMS/SBT type endpoints today.
"""So, this unit cannot stream Spotify, Deezer, Qbuz"
Was that a question? Your statement is untrue. Why, yes, the Bryston unit can stream everything that the Squeezebox can, because you can easily set it to show up as just another Squeeze-endpoint. It runs LMS just fine.
"OP, - you are correct. The SBT is heads and tails above this unit !"
How would you know?
"Asylums with doors open wide,

Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"
I know all that... I was just responding to your Budy Issac P Gabby..... who said.

Which might confuse someone wishing to learn about the capabilities of the products being discussed.
Your opinions about the person who posted, are outside the "scope" of the working features, and/or sound quality of the devices.
"Asylums with doors open wide,

But describing LMS as 'The Horror that it is', was even more over the top of misinformation.
