Bryston has announced the introduction of the BDP-π (Pi) digital music player, joining the BDP-2 in Bryston’s lineup of digital players for music enthusiasts. Bryston’s digital music players let users enjoy a perfect replica of high-resolution studio masters with incredible detail and breathtaking realism.
The BDP-π is available now through authorized Bryston dealers with an MSRP of $1295. The compact BDP-π features advanced Bryston hardware and software built upon the Raspberry Pi and HifiBerry platform (a recognized high-quality compact computing solution) giving users fast response to commands and superb overall performance all from a chassis 1/3 the width of Bryston’s full-sized players.
The BDP-π will playback digital music ranging from MP3 to lossless 24/192 high-resolution files and can be connected to virtually any DAC using the provided S/PDIF, Toslink, USB and HDMI connectors. The BDP-π is a complete digital entertainment hub—users can connect an external drive to access limitless libraries of digital content, gain access to their favorite Internet radio stations and enjoy lossless Tidal streaming (a subscription is required). The BDP-π is also a Roon Ready device. Roon Labs has created a software solution that delivers the ultimate user experience by merging Bryston’s exceptional BDP digital playback hardware with an intuitive, graphically rich music library management and playback software. Users get the sound of Bryston digital players with a highly refined user interface.
“Feedback from our sales channel has indicated that there was a market for a compact digital music player at a lower price point as long as performance remained superb,” explained Bryston VP James Tanner. “We have been able to bring together key technologies to make the BDP-π a reality and deliver Bryston quality digital entertainment to more music enthusiasts.” All Bryston digital products are covered by a 5-year warranty.
