James, I liked the "secret Head-Fi handshake" better

I'm happily listening to my new BHA-1 right now

Big thank you to Danu and David at Bay Bloor for starting me down the Bryston path ...

Well I finally got my AH-D7000s back and have been listening to them through the BHA-1. The Denons have never sounded better. This amp really takes control of these phones. The bass is massive yet controlled very tuneful and solid. The midrange is very textural and detailed but fleshy and realistic. The treble is smooth and accurate with no brightness or harshness. So I know that the BHA-1 synergizes very well with the LCD-2 and the AH-D7000. This is a wonderful amp!!

Out of curiosity... are you running single ended or balanced?

 

Still waiting on mine....

I can't say it's the best but I'm very happy with the W4S DAC2 with the BHA1 and LCD3s

I managed to audition the BHA 1 with a pair of HD800's and compare both the Rega dac and the Violectric V800.

 

I found the V800 to be very detailed with a far more expansive sound stage (to my surprise as I was honestly thinking that I would not be able to tell the difference between the two dacs as I tend to be sceptical of aspects of this hobby at times) whilst the Rega was warm delivering more bass impact, I also thought the Rega sounded to congested. My pick of the two dacs I tried would be the V800, although I am not sure how it compares with other higher end dacs.

Bryston also has a matching DAC so to speak.  The BDA-2.  The down side of the DAC out the gate is the price.

Got your D7000s back form where Lawton?

 

I agree the BHA-1 is a great amp and very flexible drive orthos and Denons both very well.

bfreedma, we have almost the same gear

Are you using balanced for your LCD3?

I haven't had that much time with the BHA1 yet

The W4S DAC-2 is certainly not the DAC I would use the LCD-3 with.  It's a pretty dark DAC.  I found the Metrum Octave and more so the PWD2 a better match.

Yes Lawton fixed them for me. Great service and excellent work. I didnt modify them I just had the hinge repaired on one side. That tiny friggin screw fell out and I lost some parts.

I would classify the PS Audio DLIII as a dark/warm dac....the DAC-2 is somewhere in between a brighter DAC like the BDA-1 and the DLIII.  If the PWD2 could only fit in my rig, I might be tempted a little more. That thing is a beast!
