Ayre CX-7e vs. Bryston BCD-1


Hello,

I'm in the process of getting a different CDP. Has anyone compared the Ayre CX-7e with the Bryston BCD-1. Any feedback would be welcome!

I apologise if I misunderstood,although I read( I never directly compared the two)I thought the CD-7 would have more synergy with the audioresearch pre(at least to my ears)when I auditioned all 3.It all really matters to Hgeifman as he will be the one listening to which ever he chooses.
i'm glad he's taking his time and gets to audition a few
player's,as nothing worse than going by reviews ect and finding out that it doesn't do it for him emotionally music wise.I think I like my music too much,just like the rest of us here,as we want it to be the best experience we can afford.
I think i'll go spin an LP(I like that,choices).
As good as my Ayre CX7e is, and it is definitely better in terms of the flow of music and the depth and spacial aspects, it just can't compete with good vinyl. But then not much (if anything) really can.

I'm on the waiting list for the MP upgrade. I'm reading good things about that and am anxious to hear the differences.

I run a Bryston BDA-1, which is their DAC, into an AX-7E with great success.
