Hegel Mohican & Bryston BCD3


I have compared Bryston & Hegel top cd players.
While they are both excellent,the winner*to me* was Hegel.
What was most different is I was able to listen deep inside the music with no fatigue.
The Mohican seems to have the essence or soul of music like Vinyl.
BCD3 was very enjoyable and satisfying but still felt listening to CD.
I only possessed this player for a week and it may have "crossed over" at some point to the natural flowing music of the Mohican.
Bryston background hue was neutral as was the presentation/
Mohican backrgound seems a bit warmer and not as neutral as bryston.
But after a brief period Mohican natural sounding instruments & bass are a revelation.
Nothing stands out or tries to be Impressive-
Musical timing & authentic instruments without digital artifacts.
The only other CD player I would compare it to (that I know) is
Linn Ikemi,which is much older now.but gave a similar experience.
Bryston BCD3 & Hegal Mohican are tour de force cd players.

Much Thanks! monkandmozart

I will post here if/when I get a demo on the Hegel and Bryston. I have no local representation of either brand.  Advise dealers/retailers, especially, in the U.S. Southeastern region.

Happy Listening!
Looking for a new CD player to replace vintage Cal Audio Lab CD player.  Looking for a less harsh perhaps a bit warmer sound.  Thinking of the Bryston.  Curious as to how you would describe its "tone"?
Thanks
