Hi James, I am UK-based and trying to get my SP3 upgraded to one of these 2 options (am inclined to option 1 as I have no current use for DSD):
1. SP-3 with version 2 - 3 - 4 or 5 main circuit board can upgrade to STEREO plus SURROUND MODES PCM 192/24 ONLY for $600
2. SP-3 with version 2 - 3 or 4 main board can upgrade to STEREO plus SURROUND MODES PCM 192/24 as well as STEREO DSD for $1000
...
NOTE: These updates ‘MUST’ be performed at the Factory.
Speaking to the UK Bryston distributor, I am getting inconsistent info compared to your posting and they tell me that I can get the USB upgraded to stereo PCM but not multi-channel for option 1. My SP3 is from late 2012 (I suspect board version 2). Can you tell me if the PCM multi-channel upgrade option is still available?
If available, can the UK distributer do this themselves or must it return to Canada? They tell me they can do the PCM stereo-only upgrade here in the UK.
