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.

Anyone here still enjoying a Hegel Cd player?Model CDP4A / MkII or Mohican ?
Happy Listening!
I haven't heard one but there's a review out on the Pro-Ject CD transport that everyone's raving about. In it, the reviewer mentioned that the only other players that were very hard to differentiate from the Pro-Ject were the Mohican and a Mcintosh CDT with matching DAC. It was so close that it was almost a toss up and maybe a matter of preference.

All the best,

recently bought a Mohican, and looking forward to comparing it to my VPI prime with Audio Technica Art9 cartridge.

Initial impressions are really good but awaiting a pre-amp repair to fully compare the two.

I am looking forward in reading about your Mohican impressions.What are your Musical tastes?
Happy Listening!
@jafant .. really like everything but Opera, hard core country and rap.

Heavy into Progressive Rock, 70's classic rock, Jazz and Jazz fusion, and some folk like Fairport Convention, Pentangle etc. Only listen to classical on my Bose Wave radio, rarely on the big rig.
