Bryston BCD-1 impressions?

I did forget to mention that I'm using the dacs in the BCD-1
(analog outs)no digital out,as I preferred that to my Benchmark DAC-1 ,if I was then she'd be dependent
on dacs in the preamp or dac.Anyway I like her alot and she'll
be my last CDP.

To my ears,the BCD-1 got me closer to the sound of real instruments.I auditioned Arcams top cdp(can't remember the mod#
and believe it or not Audioresearch CD-7(and that's the one I
wanted to buy(8000.00)I spent around 3 hrs with the three units(and they all had some hrs. on them.They were all connected to a Audio research preamp,so going from one to the other was almost instantaneous.Everybody,I think hears(listens
differently)Me I really like listening to the sound of bottom end,bass,kick drum ,ect and how they sound TO ME in real life.
and also the highs mids ect.The BCD-1 did it for me and I saved a pile of coin,which I bought another sub.
Sometimes we think(to much) we can hear or we try to hear
a difference,especially with products costing thousands more,it must be better.I like when a component lets you hear without thinking.I trust my ears as I'm the one who has to listen to what I purchased for hrs. on end.The trouble is
I REALLY WANTED THE CD-7.I'm more than happy musically with
the BCD-1.
I'd audition as many cdps as you can and take your time
use your own music that you are really familiar with and
TRUST YOUR EARS.

All I can say is(not that it happens often)is when a component just jumps out at you without me trying to listen
or wanting to hear an improvement.
Three pieces have done that for me so far,my 50as,Torus PIU,
pcs and Bcd-1.if any cable or component degrades my music I definately won't purchase it no matter how much money it costs
or how great the reviews sound,which I have found out quite abit by trial and error(audition,audition).

Stereophile did a bunch of jitter tests on a group of CDP
to make her short the BRYSTON BCD-1 had some of the lowest jitter readings and that was with cdps costing 3-10 times as much.I guess all those perty blue lights,hefty prices and fancy covers don't give us the most important quality
