Is it worth upgrading a CD player?

How much time will it take to upload 7,000 CDs?   That maybe the bigger issue.

My best friend is interested in purchasing the best sounding CD player for under $4,000.  He considered the Luxman 03X and now the Bryston CDP3.  The latter has a similar or same drive as the Project and the other aforementioned high end CDP from StreamUnlimited.  It is also a CD only dedicated player.  Has anyone heard this player?  He is friends with a Bryston dealer and can buy it for 40% off.

could you provide a link? I didn’t know that Bryston had a top loader CD transport. I see their BCD-3 dedicated tray mechanism transport. The Stream Unlimited CD Pro-8 drive is a top loading unit. If Bryston has adapted this, that’s terrific news!

Yes, I noticed that too but the transport is made by Stream Unlimited.  Bryston states that it is a professional model transport.  I don't know anything else about it, how it compares with the top loaders.  

Stream Unlimited does manufacturer top loaders and tray loaders. I was just referencing the top loading  CD Pro-8 drive unit specifically as it’s also selected by Gryphon and others. I have no doubt that the well respected Bryston utilizing the Stream Unlimited mechanism is exceptionally good.

The key thing, in common with other top-flight CD transports is its dedication to CD playback only. There’s no attempt to be a jack of all trades multi media utility. Just strict and focused attention to Redbook CD. I bet that this dedicated Bryston is excellent.
