Hi Joe
Yes if it's a hybrid version.

Thanks, James, If I can play an SACD on the BCD 3, on the hybrid "layer" would there actually be a degradation of the sound quality relative to the sound of the full SACD "experience"? And if so, what was Bryston's design intent in building the BCD 3 without SACD capability? (My guess is that there are not enough SACDs out there to warrant that "effort", and building the best redbook CD player is a more worthy goal. But don't let me put words in your mouth.)

PS: I have a lovely Copland CD player from 1997 (HDCD another pretty much lost medium) which still functions although I am planning to put together a Bryston audio suite soon. Nevertheless, with the BCD 3 (for Redbook) would the Bryston clearly sound "better" than the 1997 Copland? I mean, has CD technology changed a lot in 20 years? I am not being facetious, I has just been away for a long time, and am trying to catch up, and I am not aware of the state of the art. Which is hard to do. Thanks again.
