RE: Bryston BCD-3 RedBook CD player

If any of my modified Philips CDR-935 CD changers were to croak (these designs are over 25 years old), I'd likely try a new CD player.... I still think overall, the best sound from any form of digital media is directly from these 5-inch silver discs. (In spite of age, there is no sign these changers will croak any time soon. The only issue is an occasional "skip", which occurs in one of ten discs.)

But then again, I'd first try to find someone with the tooling to replicate Don Allen's modifications of these Philips 935 changers. Rarely is there a component I'd own for life, but these modified Philips changers are amongst that elite few. Over the past five years, I have not even been in the market to purchase any home digital audio playback source. (I will soon be posting a video check for the new Huawei P10 Plus smart phone, played from audio sourced from one of these CD changers. The audio capture capability of these phone cameras recording video is amazing.)

Although this new Bryston player seems intriguing enough to audition.
