I don’t quite understand the lower price that the SP1 and SP1.7 command.  I have the SP1.7 and use it for stereo only, with all inputs defaulting to 2 channel mode. This unit is great.

Comparing functionality to the BP17, you loose the headphone jack and tape loop, but the SP1 gives you a dac should you need it.  At a fraction of the cost of the BP17, I’d highly recommend one.

 Agreed, I think the thoughts are combining the power supply and digital circuitry in one common chassis may effect the performance.  And maybe it does, but that does not mean it is not  a fine piece of kit. I  Use my SP1  daily IN 2 channel mode in my home office.⁷
