What is the nature of the problem ? 
Difficult to exactly describe the actual problem, way back when.. I thought it may have been due to a dirty disc, dust particles or whatever but visual inspection or playing over the suspect section of the disc did not repeat the aberration, but the symptomatic ”tick”, “pop” or most recently a “hiccup” which is a momentary interruption for a fraction of a second of the music and appears to be random and sometime effects every disc and some sessions are played flawlessly.
When I originally sent the BCD-1 to Bryston back in 2010 they had it on the bench for a few days and had given it a new firm-ware update and a clean bill of health.
James even offered to drive down to TO and swap out mine for his, and in hindsight I should have taken up his offer just to confirm if indeed my unit was playing games.
But most recently the glitch appears to be happening more frequently but still random, for example; currently I’m reviewing/comparing Sennheiser’s HD700 and HD800 headphones with the BCD-1 directly connected with balanced interconnects to the BHA-1, on Wednesday over a 3-4 hour session with every disc I experienced the above mentioned glitches, last night using the exact same selections of music over a similar time frame there was only one hiccup. ..so what’s the problem ??? good question!!! When it happens there are really no more than 2 or 3 per track but it is sure is irritating.
