Bryston BDP1- loading problem

Interesting. It seems as though all the streamers that have mid or hi fi pretensions are buggy. I have the Marantz NA 7004 and I have to cross my fingers every time I use it. A local shop deals with all Cambridge Audio Products but they refuse to carry the streamer any more due to customer complaints.
The NAD has gotten blasted in the press and forums as well.
I think I'll stick to polycarbonate discs or laptop hard drives for a while before I start embracing this technology and give it about 5 years to mature.

I think Audio reviewers ought to be taken to task for not following up on how generally unreliable these products (the Bryston, Marantz NA 7004, Cambridge Audio streamer) are in day to day use.
This technology is simply not mature enough for most of us that just want to relax listening to some music.
If your idea of fun is trying to get some half assed computer masquerading as an audio product to work, and getting to know the folks at tech support on a first name basis in the process, by all means by these things. If you just want to enjoy music, stick with a hard disc player. They may be so late 20th century, but at least they work reliably.

good for you. I've never owned a bryston. At $2K i'd like to see something that works flawlessly. Judging by the plethora of complaints on the Bryston forum, and the people in this very thread that have had issues, it ain't there yet.
I do own the Marantz NA 7004, which has been a disaster. I have heard ditto about the cambridge Audio streamer from my local Cambridge Audio dealer which now refuses to carry it and advises their customers not to buy it.
I replaced the Marantz with a squeezebox Touch, which after having been shipped with 2 non functioning power supplies, seems to be working now, although I've only started to delve into it. At least it was cheap.
Nothing I would rather do after a long day of work than hope the computer gods will let me listen to some music without some hassle. Even turntables present less hassles.
In 30 years of owning various CD players, I can remember one that malfunctioned, and that was after years of service.
