Hi Luxgon, I own the BCD-1 and honestly, it is not congested. In my system it is very clear and extended top to bottom, with no congestion. Describing it as congested counters my experience with it. It sounds to me like something in the setup was amiss. Maybe issues with the cables? Maybe some settling-in was needed somewhere, or break-in, perhaps? I've had the BCD-1 for less than a week, and I really like it but I'll reserve final comments on it other than my comments on the clarity of the player. I also have and recommend the Raysonic CD128. The CD128 is excellent and a great, great value whether you buy it new or especially if you get one on the used market. It is smooth with strong bass, detailed, with a clear open midrange and extended highs. No edge or etch with the CD128. It's very resolving as well.
Need to replace my Acurus ACD-11
Hello, I need to replace my Acurus ACD-11 cd player, which unfortunately is not functioning.
I am at a complete loss as for what players to consider at about < $2k. I listen to a wide variety of music, from the classical to the electronic.
I was considering the Bryston BCD-1, but after listening to it, I was wholly unimpressed; overall it sounded very congested.
I'm a bit lost at this point. Any suggestions will be very much appreciated!!
