HDMI is something i have not thought about or concerned with at this time. Others with experience please chime in on that.

I agree with that logic. I haven’t bought any HD downloads yet - my high res collection is all on disc (SACD) which I can send via HDMI from my Sony SACD player directly to the BDA3 that I also intend to buy.
So it seems the HDMI out on the BDP3 would only be needed for sending native DSD from files (which I don’t have) to the BDA3.
Note that native DSD files can be sent from the BDP3 via USB to non-Bryston DACs that support it. The BDA3 only supports DoP (DSD over PCM) from USB. Native DSD requires HDMI.
