The Bryston BCD-1 is a State-of-the-Art Redbook CD player using fully discrete analog Class-A proprietary Bryston circuits, a quality Drive, and a 192K/24Bit Crystal DAC.

The Bryston BCD-1 is an excellent CD player and in its price bracket it certainly is one of our favourite disc spinners. It does not really have a character as such (which we believe is a good thing) it just gets on with its job of playing music. It excels with timing and transients and is wonderfully dynamic.

What else can we say.....put it on your shortlist, it's good!

Combined with the Bryston BP26 Pre Amplifier and Bryston 4B SST2 Power Amplifier it just works

Bryston hand assembles and individually tests each and every product we manufacture. We exclusively use only the finest components in our products, such as 1% metal-film resistors, polystyrene capacitors, and hand selected and matched transistors, in order to reduce noise and distortion to the absolute minimum. Bryston applies techniques and employs custom materials in our everyday construction of electronic equipment that are more typically utilized by military and aerospace industries. Our traditional adherence to the use of proprietary parts, sophisticated construction, and refined testing techniques, guarantees that your Bryston CD Player will perform superbly, without any problems, for many, many years. It also prevents any unit-to-unit variance which inevitably is the result of any mass produced product.

With today's increased clarity and dynamic range in recordings you need equipment that not only equals but surpasses the parameters of the most demanding material available. The Bryston BCD-1 CD Player is without peer in meeting this performance challenge.
