It is the Pro Version which as a 19 inch face plate and an assignable balanced digital output (vs. the two assignable toslink inputs which is much more versatile as for something non-critical like an HDTV Tuner with a toslink out can be easily used with a cheap toslink - coax digital converter - I used one).
ANALOG AND DIGITAL CONTROL:5 digital inputs (4 coax, 1 assignable balanced) 6 stereo analog inputs, 6 inputs for a 5.1 analog output DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, Blu-Ray or SACD playerBuilt-in 24/96 D/A processorUnbalanced (RCA) and true balanced outputs (XLR) for 5.1 and stereo, each with its own discrete output amplifier.
STEREO PREAMPLIFICATION:At the touch of a button, the digital circuitry can be bypassed, so the SP 1.7 operates as an audiophile-quality analog pre-amp; and in fact, sounds identical to the Bryston BP 25 preamp or the SP 2 pre/pro, which will remain a current model. The bypass mode provides a totally discrete analog signal path, including an analog volume control. The signal does not go through any IC’s or digital circuitry from input to output.
The serial number if you can't read it from the low-res photos is 000075 and the build date (which starts the running of the 20 year warranty) is 0221, which means it was manufactured in the 21st week of 2002.
