It's here! It's here! :bounce:

After the long wait my BCD-3 arrived today, however I didn't get the first unit off production.

Will set it up shortly and give my biased opinion after the loong weekend, my expectations are high. :smoke:

James, the literature on the bcd-3 mentions that the front panel cosmetics match the new cubed amps. How does it look alongside the older sst2 amps?

Finally! It's here!

Right out of the box this CD player rocks. Listening to Melody Gardot as I write this and I'm glad I waited and didn't succumb to other very good CD players.

I'll post pictures shortly, but for now this is a great compliment component to the BDA3 and, I would surmise the BDP2.

it is very very quiet, the tray makes very little noise when opening or closing. The unit is solid and well build much like the other digital components Bryston has recently produced.

For, those of you who stream music and have a digital set-up and are looking for an excellent no-nonsense CD player that will revitalize your red book CD collection, I would have to argue you'd be hard pressed to do better than the Bryston CDP3.

Using Straight Wire Chorus II RCA cables to Bryston SP2, 2 ch by-pass to Yamaha MG 10 mixer, gain +40 position, treble +2, mids +2, bass +2, Peak level 4, master volume 9, to Bryston 2-3B sst/2 amps, 1 volt, balanced, to Model T passives and Paradigm Studio 100 v2 for 4 channel stereo.

Could go straight to mixer but this option gives me remote volume control. SP2 doesn't have balanced inputs.

Happy New Year All!

James, the website shows a black BCD-3 with blue display and LED's. If I ordered green LED's the display would be the traditional Bryston green colour too, right?

@ James, please answer.  Why can't this BLUE display look like other companies blue display, or at least close. It's advertised blue, but looks Aqua, and in dark room looks practically green. The look isn't even close to other companies blue display. I googled and went back in this forum and found several people complaining about this. I'm talking about over the last several years. Why can't Bryston do same blue colour display, or at least a lot closer too other companies. Once again, colour looks hideaus, against other audio manufacture gear. If you like, I can paste on here, many with same guestions from this site again. Why, because my new BCD-3 does this, when I ordered blue. CRAZYIEST COLOUR.  Not Blue

Yes the display comes with a set colour so there is really nothing we can do about the shade of blue but I agree it is more of an aqua blue than a standard blue. 

I think 'hideous' is a little strong but to each his own I guess.

Heres a pic of the blue:

Happy New Year to you as well and so far of the 12 units we have out there I have heard back from 10 owners (and one reviewer) and they all report "superb sound quality"  :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: - which was my goal - redbook CD playback at its best.
