These days many people are giving up their CDs in favor of iPods but for audio purists Canadian company Bryston has created the audiophile Redbook CD player called the BCD-1. The CD player uses fully discrete Class-A analog circuitry and a 192K/24Bit Crystal DAC. The machine prevents jitter by synchronizing the player's master clock and drive. The BCD-1 is all hand assembled and each one is individually tested before leaving the factory. It also has a three year parts and labor warranty. The player sells fo $2395.

Pitty about the cheap plasticky Panasonic remote. Surely for 2.395 USD it would be possible to provide a B&O like steel remote ?

Bryston makes choice hardware, but a better player can be had for less money, even one that plays DVD-family discs. My $2500 would go to an Arcam DV137 for a multi-player or a Mark Levinson DAC and Proceed transport for dedicated Redbook.
