Hello James,
Any details about the remote and specifications you can share?   i.e. DAC(s) used for the audio, IR in or just RS-232? How can you program the 12-volt trigger?    Trim settings on inputs? Re-assignable inputs?  It was hard to see the text in the rear-view picture, but 1 L/R and 1 sub balanced outs right? 
How is the SP3 sounding?   Better than the BP26? 
Thanks,
Jim
