bryston bcd-3 vs cambridge 851c

It depends , Please give more details on your system .

It’s hard to advise you because the Bryston bcd-3 is slightly better as standalone cd player but on the other hand the Cambridge 851c can be better match to your system because you already have Cambridge amp & pre and this cd can function as independent dac as well for your other digital sources .If I were you I would by the 851c.

Musical Fidelity A5,Adcom gcd-750 and Cambridge 840c are old models I wouldn’t buy them. you have to consider new models as the 2 ones you suggested because at the last 3 years there is huge improvement at the internal dac and servers inside the CD players.

Sorry I meant at the last 5 years anyway the 851C is their top current CD player.
