@1graber2 The Mohican got very good reviews in one (or two?) of the mainstream mags, but so far I haven't come across a real live person (OK, r.l.p. on an internet forum) who owns it and wrote about it. As a long-time, satisfied owner of a BCD-1, I'll likely get a '3 eventually. (BTW, the Bryston '1 beat out a combo of Cambridge Audio transport+Schiit Gungnir [not multibit], that I had got as a possible replacement. They went into the second system.)
Dedicated Red Book CD player vs. "Universal" type players....
I surmise this discussion has been debated a fair amount but here goes....I'm searching for the "final" cd player. Red Book playback is important to me as I have an extensive cd collection and am not into computer based sound (yet). So, I don't mind grabbing and popping those silver disks into a player. What are my fellow Audiogoner's thoughts on a dedicated cd player vs. the universal (see Oppo) type of player? Does a one-box solution sacrifice some cd playback performance trying to be a jack of all trades? If so, can you hear that difference? Input and comments most appreciated!
