I've heard the BCD-1 and its very good with lots of detail and but could be perceived as wee bit sterile. The Arcam may offer up less detail but could be a bit more "polite" in presentation.
I think you need to better define what is lacking in the presentation. A cd player with tubes will most definitely give you something different but it may not be what you are looking for...
