Ayre CX-7e vs. Bryston BCD-1

Hello,

I'm in the process of getting a different CDP. Has anyone compared the Ayre CX-7e with the Bryston BCD-1. Any feedback would be welcome!

I talked to Bryston and their Rep is supposed to let me know. My guess is they have no retailers in my area (I cannot believe it). I need a CD player that runs balanced to my Ayre AX-7e connected to my Quad 12L Speakers. And yes, I am also looking at the Ayre CX-7e MP CD. Any comments on the Bryston BCD-1 and the Ayre AX-7e amplifier?

He offered to loan me the Bryston BCD-1 and I will contact him around mid September. All the reviews I saw on the Bryson BCD-1 were very positive but I need to determine how it sounds with my Ayre AX-7e amplifier in my home. I should be able to do this with I get the unit. If anyone has heard the Bryson BCD-1 vs. Ayre CX-7eMP, I would be interested in hearing your opinion. Thanks again for all your information above.
