I own two similar pieces.
I have a bp25, and a classe cp50 (which some say is better than the 47.5) I wouldn't know I did not compare.
They are close... both impressively good units. Both have optional phono stages... the classe is warmer, has more depth, the bryston is more direct and clear, with more detail. I like the bryston sound more.
I also find that the classe has less tolerance for my dac that outputs a non standard 3v output, even with the "gain" reduction on the cp50 I still lack enough control. The bryston fares better.
Bother are great pieces of gear, and in the same class, just slightly different sound. If your system needs some warmth, go for the classe, if you need or like detail the bryston is your ticket. TO be clear both are smooth units without the slightest grain or glare.
