James,
Thanks for the URL. I'm very fond of their Trinity Session. Below is the comment that I posted.
I've been using the BCD-1 for about 2 1/2 years. I've yet to hear another player that can get the full instrument sound as the BCD does. Others, even a Weiss DAC2, purify the sound - emphasizing the basic sound of a note but suppressing the 'timbre' of the instrument. In contrast the BCD presents the whole sound of the instrument - just as you would hear if were playing next to you. Others may sound clearer but after listening to them for a while, I get annoyed with their polish and lack of reality. Three cheers for the Bryston BCD-1.
ps: I hear that feeding the digital output from the BCD -1into the Bryston BDA-1 can give even better results but I haven't been able to check that out as yet.
Best Regards,
Stu Cook
