Hi James

Just want to let you guys know the SP3 hdmi 2.2 upgrade was a complete success.

Manage to connect the modified SP3 to our JVC Z-1 (RS-4500 over your place) and it pass through 4K HDR with no issues using our Oppo 203 and Panasonic UB-400 UHD disc players.

Switching between normal Bluray and 4K Bluray HDR content were hassle free, switching between the hdmi inputs of the SP3 were again problem free, maybe just a tad slow for 4K HDR picture to lock but nothing to complain.

Picture performance was brilliant through the SP3 and of course you have the usual brilliant SP3 sound for blurays and 4K blurays all through just a single hdmi cable to the SP3.

Again a fantastic job done for which we will whole heartily recommend this upgrade to our existing SP3 customers.

Best regards,

Jim - This has to be a record length thread - I'll call the Guinness folks

I'm thinking of replacing my McIntosh Mx150 and have my eye the Bryston SP3 - In my system I don't use a sub ....my Revel Salons get low enough for music and the bass stays tight - For movies I loose some rumble but I'm not a rumble fan anyway

Looking over the manual (which is almost as long as this thread) I couldn't confirm that I could set the front left and right speakers full range -I should be able to make that setting correct?

Also since my room has good treatments (Bass traps, first reflection points, ceiling panels etc) the lack of a sub should help compensate for the missing room correction

I had been with Bryston for many years but went the McIntosh route about seven years ago ..... looks like I am on my way back - Thanks for your help

Yes--you have the option to set any speaker as either large or small.

You can also sent the sub channel to the mains and the LFE at the same time.

Different inputs can be configured in different ways too.

That's great that we have an option to upgrade our existing devices. how much is the upgrade? It would be nice if these prices are published with all the upgrade options for the sp3 since its first release. What's the turn around time? I'm assuming I need to courier it to HQ from Singapore.

Question: What is the output impedance at the headphone jack? Is it the same 110 ohms as listed in the specs for the speaker outs, or is it different?

I couldn't find separate spec for the headphone jack.
