Congratulations on your BDP-2, Dreamseeker:
Get the BDA-2 and you'll have found your dream (at least this aspect of it). These two components do work beautifully together, as addressed in the reviews James has posted on this thread, such as those from Hi-Fi News and from HP Soundings. The BDA-2 is also a superb value, providing excellent sound and flexibility, winning The Absolute Sound Product of the Year Award. The sound is accurate, smooth, and engaging, providing the best audio I've heard from my system, noticeably ahead of my Oppo BDP-105 (via HDMI to the SP3) when comparing, say, an SACD with a hi-res download of the same recording. Finally, the BR2 remote will control both units, as well as other Bryston gear.
