Bryston BDP-3 User Manual

BDP-3 High Resolution DIgital Music Player
13
connected to USB 3.0 specied drives. Note that
by denition, USB is bi-directional so any USB
port can function as an input (to receive a drive
containing music les) or an output (to feed a
compatible USB DAC.
10. Bus 2 USB Ports:
The BDP-3 includes two USB 3.0 ports on
a separate hardware bus from the other 6
ports. That these two ports are on a separate
hardware bus from the other ports is useful for
those who wish to use a Streamlength USB DAC
(Wavelength, Ayre, Berkeley, et. al). Such DACs
require that they are the only device on the
entire USB bus, so those wishing to use such
DACs are advised to use one bus for the DAC and
the other bus for connecting USB media.
11. Digital Audio Out
Two digital audio outputs (AES/EBU and S/
PDIF) are available to connect the BDP-3 to
your choice of DAC. Both are exceptionally
high quality transformer coupled outputs with
exceptionally low jitter. Which sounds better
depends largely on your DAC. Note that DSD is
not supported through these outputs. To pass
DSD, you must use a DSD compatible USB DAC.
The S/PDIF output requires a 75Ω BNC
terminated digital audio interconnect on the
BDP-3 end. The AES/EBU output requires a 110Ω
XLR-3 terminated digital audio interconnect.
12. Remote Power ON/OFF Trigger:
The BDP-3 is equipped with two 3.5mm two
conductor phone jacks for implementing a
remote power On/O function. Supplying a
DC control voltage between 3 and 12 volts (at
greater than or equal to 1mA) to the Trigger
IN port will allow you to remotely power your
BDP-1 on or o. The control voltage is applied to
the IN port will be routed to the OUT connector
via an isolated relay aer the BDP-3 has fully
powered up. The remote trigger input takes
precedence over the front panel push-button
switch. When a valid control voltage is present
at the IN port, the unit cannot be powered o.
13. Data Plate:
This label provides the unit’s exact model
number, serial number, electrical rating and
date of manufacture. Do not remove.
14. IEC Power Inlet:
The IEC -320 C14 power inlet accepts IEC-320
C13 equipped power cords such as the unit
provided. Use only appropriate power cords
that have been approved for your region.
