BDP-π
4
Welcome
Thank you for your purchase of a Bryston BDP-π; a
state-of-the-art digital music player that can play
back the vast majority of digital music file formats
including today’s most popular lossless codecs
including AIFF, FLAC, WAVE, APPLE LOSSLESS, and
more at resolutions up to 192kHz / 24 bit PCM.
Music stored on both locally attached USB media
and network attached storage (NAS) devices is
aggregated and indexed into a single library. The
BDP-π includes intuitive soware for controlling
your BDP that requires no installation and is
accessible from any modern web browser. A wide
variety of compatible third-party applications are
also available for iOS and Android mobile devices.
In stand-alone systems, the BDP-π can also be
controlled via front-panel buttons and the color TFT
display, or with our optional BR-2 IR remote control.
We have designed the BDP-π to provide the
highest sound quality possible and an enjoyable
user experience free from the hassles normally
associated with computer-based audio playback.
A Quick Start Guide has been provided to help
you setup and play music right away. This manual
provides a technical reference for hardware, setup,
interconnectivity, warranty, and safety. Bryston
stands committed to ongoing improvement and
soware development. For that reason, we have
separated the Firmware User’s Manual in which
you’ll find detailed information on day to day use
from this document. See www.bryston.com for the
most current edition.
Again, thank you for choosing Bryston.
