i purchased a BDA-1 after chatting with Drubin about them vs. Berkeley.
have had it a year and have felt NO reason to upgrade at all. i like having all the digital inputs as well---since i run my BD and DVR through the Bryston....therefore only 1 set of analog interconnects are used in my system.
i also took it to a professional musician who put it in his rack/studio for a few days---to say he was impressed is an understatement.
computer audiophile reviews both and says the berkeley is a tad better, but better off saving 3k and buying more music.
cheers
