+1, keep your BCD-1, it will work has an excellent transport.
New CD Player or Existing CD Player as Transport to a DAC?
I have a Bryston BCD-1 and Bryston just came out with the BCD-3 for $3500.00

So my question is: would I be getting a better listening experience if I sell the BCD-1 and buy the BCD-3.
Or would the playback be just as good or better, if I kept the BCD-1 for a transport and bought a new DAC like a Benchmark, Berkeley Audio or Mytek and connected my Bryston to that?
Thank you for reading this.

Though I agree that buying a DAC and using the BCD-1 as a transport provides opportunity to expand sources and bypass a preamp stage, I find myself wondering what sonic improvement one would get regarding redbook CD playback. Probably boils down to the budget allocated towards a DAC and type of digital media to be played through it. |
The classic match will be the new Bryston BDA-3 DAC and use your CDP as transport. http://bryston.com/products/digital_audio/BDA-3.html |
