GENERAL
DESCRIPTION
The Bryston BDP-2 is a state-of-the-art digital
music player that can play back most high resolu-
tion digital music formats including AIFF, FLAC
& WAV les up to 24 bits @ 192 kilo samples per
second (192/24) as well as standard formats and
lower resolution digital music les like MP3’s. It
receives digital audio inputs via any of its six
USB ports. The BDP-2 outputs digital signals via
its SPDIF and AES/EBU ports for connecting to an
external digital-to-analog converter like Bryston’s
BDA-1, which in turn delivers analog audio signals
to preamps and integrated ampliers. The BDP-2
can be controlled locally via its front panel push-
button controls using the BDP-2’s dot matrix dis-
play and by Bryston’s infra-red handheld remote
control, the BR2. It can be controlled remotely via
Bryston’s web apps; MINI for mobile devices and
MAX for desktop computers & tablets. It can also
be controlled by the iPod Touch music player or
the iPad using their WiFi interface and the mPod
app.

NETWORK VERSUS LOCAL CONTROL
NETWORK: In this context NETWORK refers to
any control method that physically interconnects
to the BDP-2 through its Ethernet port. These
methods include Bryston -Mini and Bryston-Max
and the mPod app for iPod Touch or iPhone, and
similar web based applications. All computer
network control methods require the use of a
Web browser application. Using an iPod Touch as a
remote control requires a wireless home computer
network with a Web Browser. The BDP-2 inter-
faces to the home computer network’s router via
its Ethernet port.
LOCAL: includes the front panel push button
switches and alpha-numeric/dot matrix display
and infra-red remote controls like Bryston’s BR2.
See Operational Notes for more information.
BR2 REMOTE CONTROL (OPTIONAL)
The BR2 infra-red remote control can be used
with the BDP-2 to control the basic PLAY, STOP,
PAUSE, FORWARD & REVERSE functions. The BR2
is a multi-function remote capable of operating
not only the BDP-2, but also the BDA-1 & BDA-2
digital-to-analog converters and many Bryston pre-
amps and integrated amplifiers such as the BP26,
BP6, BP16, B60R and B100. To use the BR2 with
the BDP-2, set it to “D/A” mode. For more informa-
tion see the BR2 Owner’s Manual.
