Bryston BDP-3 Digital Music Player - Owner's Manual

The SkyFi Testing Process for Network Streamers

We start with a visual inspection of all internal components to make sure that there are no signs of heat stress or damage. Capacitors are checked for telltale signs of predictive failure including bulging, shrunken wrappers, or physical leakage. We also inspect resistors and other passive components for signs of overheating.

We are equipped to test optical, coaxial, and USB inputs at Redbook CD Quality. We start with a test signal to verify signal lock and proper output on both channels. If the streamer has multiple Optical and Coaxial inputs they are all checked for proper lock.

After proper function is verified, we set the streamer up for a listening test to evaluate audible signs of issues related to dropped signal lock. We often connect streamers under evaluation to our long term test rig for a long test stint to verify stability under real world operating conditions.
