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!

Is it worth upgrading a CD player?
I’ve had my Marantz CD6002 for around 14 years and it’s still going strong. I have it connected to an Audiolab M-DAC+ and play via my Rega amp. I’m mostly vinyl but have started to playvmy CD’s more recently and wondered whether upgrading the CD player would be worth it or not, given the fact it’s played via a dedicated DAC. Am I right in thinking there would be little noticeable improvement?

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. Charles |
Just found another high end player using the StreamUnlimited JPL-2800 transport which the Bryston CDP3 uses, the DCS Rossini. It's not the CD Pro-8:Blue Tiger top loader. Could it be equally good? Apparently the Optics and Traverse are the same and it is a Tiger version. Here are the available details I found:https://www.suos-hifi.com/ and https://www.suos-hifi.com/_files/ugd/a83b4d_bd03da721f94481582667f1ab980f2c5.pdf |
