For most audiophiles, digital audio began with CDs. Even in today’s digital-download world, CDs are everywhere. Why not hear them at their finest?

Bryston’s new BCD-3 builds on the legacy of the  BCD-1 by offering a player specifically designed for CD playback and nothing else. Universal disc players have inherent compromises that limit the performance of the player when listening to CDs.

The BCD-3 starts with a high-current ultra low noise power supply. Add an anti-vibration mounted disc transport specifically engineered for Redbook CD playback, borrow the exact same dualDAC circuit from our award-winning BDA-3, and synchronize it all together with a high precision master clock. Jitter free playback, high dynamic range, and dead-simple operation makes enjoying your CD collection more fun and better sounding than ever.

  • Redbook CD Playback
  • Professional grade disc transport
  • DACs and transport slave to single master clock for jitter free performance
  • Dual balanced AKM digital to analog converters based on BDA-3 design
  • Proprietary fully balanced class-A discrete operational amplifiers
  • Rack mountable option available (2U)
  • Includes BR4 remote control
