Well, if you get the Ayre you should definitely consider getting the MP upgrade for an additional $250. It's kind of the next generation in digital filtering that the others do not have.
Linn Majik CD v Ayre Cx-7 v Bryston BCD-1
Hello all,
I'm looking for a new CDP to replace my Sony DVP-NS9100ES. The rest of my system is Linn Exotik, C5100, Ninkas, Trikan.
Has anyone compared the Linn Majik CD to the CX-7 or BCD-1? I would be looking at used and budget is a consideration (maybe 2000 max).
Other thoughts are the Cambridge 840C, Sony XA5400, the Bryston BDA-1 DAC or Benchmark DAC. The seperate DAC or 840 would let me run my Squeezebox into them which would be a benefit.
The second group (except the BDA-1) are cheaper, maybe 1000 used. Is here a great difference between the first group and the second?
Lastly, I like most varieties of music but don't listen to much classical. Most of my music if RB with a few SACDs.
Thanks!
