Hi Steve,
Yes we can still do the upgrade for you but as Phil mentioned the new hi res codex's (formats) are not available on the SP2.

I am getting back into HT after a few moves and ~three years. I have been using my 1.7 in a bedroom flat panel TV, 5.1 system. In researching the current scene, I decided to get a Denon DVD3800 (good price) and use it for decoding, bass management, etc and the 1.7 as 7.1 analog to two Bryston monoblocks, 6B ST and 2BST.
After hooking up the pre-pro to the mono-blocks, L&R fronts (two channel), there was an uncontrolled signal going to the B&W 802s. Turned the gain to 0, then killed the power to the amps. The 1.7 has a blown left fuse 250v 1.5Amp(?). There may have been a power surge from the Panamax, but I think the problem is with the SP1.7.
This is a round about way to the upgrade question. If the 1.7 needs to be returned for repair, should I upgrade to SP 2 specs? Sound like the answer is no, since it is already outdated digital and if the 1.7 can be revived, it will be used as an analog pre-amp. (BTW is there a part # for the fuses and where to get them. Should I replace the blown fuse or just assume that the 1.7 is blown?)
Thanks for the help.
Steve
