Maybe this will get more response in this visible forum - could seriously use some valued input from the community...with my Bryston BDA-1, am I short-changing it still? Do I seriously need to plunk down >$600 on a USB/SPDIF converter from the likes of Bel Canto or Bryston themselves?

No problems, the M2Tech HiFace 2 will work fine up to a 192kHz sample rate. The only question I have is if it will operate at 88.2kHz - some converters uses a Tempo transceiver chip that won't work at that rate, forcing the host computer to transcode to 96kHz.
