How good is Bryston BDP-1?

I am awaiting to pull a trigger on something like Bryston BDP-1 digital. But there are almost no reviews/opinions comparing that device with top tier CD players like esoteric K-03/K-01, DCS Puccini, Ayon CD-5s, ARC CD8 and others.

Did somebody actually had a chance to compare the Bryston BDP-1 to those CD players, playing BDP-1 via their DACs vs. playing actual CD using those players transports and DACs. Does Bryston BDP-1 really out there on the same level? Please don’t post a comments advising on auditioning this device. If I could, I would do it already and did not ask for help. Thank you.

If you are using flac files Wav ,or other hi rez medium, and a. Good
Filing system suchas DB Power amp, or J Rivers ,for Windows,Almarra for Apple,
Or others also for Apple the Bryston BDP is without peer !!
It makes everything sound much more alive and natural sounding.
One word of advise ,but the best cables you can afford. Myself using Wireworld Platinum USB from my Seagate 1T external drive,to a Wireworld Platinum digital XLR going from the bdp player to he Dac.
P.s it is Great with the Mpad -App i use my Ipad or Iphone to bring up
Any album on the drive ,withall album art.I will never go back to vinyl.
Buy the Bdp-2 with a dac capable of Hirez DSD playback and
It is incredible !!
