Having owned the BCD-1 for many years and been very pleased with it (and with the excellent support from Mike and the crew at Bryston), I moved up to the BCD-3. I like this new unit very much, but I don't love it. It is very neutral, not ruthless or analytical or anything like that, but it doesn't add any warmth either. Eventually I upgraded to the Luxman D-05u, and the '3 went to my second system, where it's perfect. I suspect the Ruby is more like the Luxman in supplying just a hint of warmth--what some people call musical. There's a new generation out, including a D-03x model. If I were you, I'd try to look at all three carefully and think (ideally listen) about how your overall system is now and where you want to take it moving forward.
Looking for input on CD players
I am looking to purchase a dedicated CD Player and am looking onto a Marantz Ruby SI or a Bryston BCD3. Looking for any feedback with owners of these. I do have a couple of SACD's, but this is not a necessity. I am currently running a Marantz 7007, modified, which is a universal player,Thank you!
