I currently have a BDA-2 and BDP-2. I was interested in upgrading the sound card in the BDP-2. Then I got to thinking about upgrading the BDA-2 to a BDA-3. I thought I remembered reading that 1) the USB inputs on the BDA-3 were as good as the AES/EBU and coax inputs and 2) the upgraded sound card for the BDP-2 won't impact the USB outputs? If that's the case, there really wouldn't be a benefit to upgrading both the DAC and the sound card, correct?
I'd also welcome any input BDA-3 owners who had the BDA-2 can offer on any improvements in quality they enjoyed.
