From James comment
"" if we can beat the analog performance of the BP 26 we will certainly move in that direction but other than adding specific features so far that has not happened based on our research.
I agree some folks want pass through, front panel display etc. but that is not a reason to change the BP26. I think a better idea would be a new preamp that would not replace the BP26 but would add options and of course would cost more for those additional features if customers needed them in their system.

Absolutely. All those options do nothing for two channel performance
(except maybe the source selection on remote.)
Since my BP-26 is a foot away from my left hand I do not use the remote anyway...
Me? I still want a separate tone control box powered by the BP-26 power supply. Similarr in size to the headphone box and the phono box. With lots of options for adjusting the tone.. Treble mirange and bass knobs (switches to put in or take out each section of devices inside case), at least two separate parametric devices, plus a couple of adjustable shelving dodads plus an scaleable loudness contour. (I already know this is not gonna happen, but just letting you know what "I" want more than anything else from Bryston.
