I would stay away from the Bryston BCD-1 player as they have been problematic, no parts are available for repair and the transport tends to malfunction over time. Two of my friends have them and they are now boat anchors.
Best CD player from this list
Hi all,
Question 1: Which is the best sounding CD player from this list:
1. Cambridge 840c
2. Cambridge 851c
3. Ayre CX-7e MP
4. Bryston BCD-1
5. Meridian 508.24
6. Rotel RCD-1572
Question 2: Which player in this list will sound best with a Levinson 383 integrated and Revel F30 speakers? I would be using XLR connections. My cabling is Harmonic Tech pro 9 reference biwire speaker cables and pro silway II interconnects. I can swap out interconnects if there is a better match. Power cables are Audience Powerchord for both amp and cdp. I’m not looking to go with separate dac and transport as that adds more cost for additional cables, etc. My musical tastes are primarily pop, rock, electronic.
Thanks for the feedback!
