Is the Bryston BDP-1 worth $$$ over Apple TV

Help needed for a new-bee! I am considering the purchase of a used digital player. Is the Bryston BDP-1 worth the investment over the sound quality and convenience of Apple TV. All of my music is in the Apple lossless format. I have been struggling with this question for weeks! Help is seriously needed.

Since you already own the BDA-1 ,getting the BDP-1 is the way to go.There is no comparison.
I played with the Apple TV 1st generation and external DAC last summer,and the sound was horrible to my ears,my Wadia 170/ipod classic 120gb combo easily outperformed the Apple TV playing and comparing the same tunes.
I own the bdp-1/bda-1 now.

Yes I agree with you. The Bryston team is working on a new optical drive,called BOT-1 that will rip and store your music and pass it to BDP-1/BDP-2 .

There was talk about the Bot-1 in audiocircle, where the Bryston fanboys hang out and it was said that it will be compatible with BDP-1 but that was over a month ago.It was Chris Rice Bryston engineer that said it,maybe they changed course.
