Will the optical output on the SP3 allow one to burn a CD or record on the optical input on a CD burner or DAT?

John, I asked Rich the same question and he said he did not have the opportunity to connect the BDP-2 directly to the SP3, and cannot do so at this time due to an earth quake having damaged his home and equipment. You can read about it one the avsfourm.com in the "Official Bryston SP3" thread.

I have my BDP1 connected directly to my SP3, and I consider the sound outstanding. However, I have nothing else in place to compare it to fairly, and it's not a BDP2.
Also, I don't do multi-channel up-conversions like you do, so I don't know if that's much help. But I will repeat, the BDP1 directly into the SP3 is fantastic.

I don't do vinyl.I don't listen to music enough to be worth the hassle.
I'm really surprised you haven't tried one of the BDPs into your SP3 before, considering how much you like the SP3. I'm pretty sure you'll be able to do your multi-channel thing as well. It's a really nice setup, once you have it configured. Of course, I'm the type who hasn't upgraded the firmware since I bought it in 2012--or whenever it was. I guess I should. BTW, I just ordered a 9BSST(2) from AA. Replacing a Parasound Halo A51. I love the Halo, but the Bryston will give me four matching Bryston components in my rack, take a little less space, and hopefully generate a little less heat and use a little less power. BDP1, SP3, BIT20, and now the 9BSST2. Other sources are an OPPO 103, connected by HDMI to the SP3 (for movies, not music), and a Dish DVR, hooked up to a 75" Sammy F8000. Oh, and I built my own speakers--from North Creek kits. I'm a pretty happy guy, really.

I'd LOVE to hear your impressions of the 9B-SST2 vs the Halo A51, both on heat and on sound. If you don't mind, please post when you get a chance.

I did not do a critical or A/B test, and there's a volume difference (the BDA-2 is louder). All that being said, I enjoyed the BDA-2 sound for music over the SP3. I'll re-test this a bit in a few weeks when I have to pull the cabinet out for those balanced wires and a different amp, and I'll let you know what my impressions are.
