Description

The Bryston BCD-3 is a dedicated CD player designed to reproduce the detail, dynamics and musical nuance of Red Book audio CDs. Its professional-grade optical transport and digital-to-analogue converters operate from a single master clock, synchronizing disc playback and conversion to minimize timing errors.

A dual-balanced AKM DAC architecture based on Bryston’s BDA-3 design feeds a fully balanced analogue output stage built with proprietary discrete Class-A operational amplifiers. RCA and XLR analogue outputs connect to your amplification system, while S/PDIF and AES/EBU digital outputs provide connections for an external DAC.

Ethernet connectivity supports a web-based control interface and home automation integration. Infrared operation is also available using the optional Bryston BR2 or a compatible universal remote. Black and silver finishes, two faceplate widths and an optional rack-mount configuration accommodate different system layouts.
