Posted at Bryston:

Memo: To all Bryston Customers:
Subject: Bryston SP1 To SP1.7 Factory Upgrade.

Please be advised that the SP1 factory upgrade to the new SP1.7 is now available.

The upgrade will offer the following changes:

96kHz digital input sample rates
DTS NEO 6 Matrix decoding
DTS ES 6.1 decoding

Additional 2-channel music and surround modes
It is quite an extensive upgrade and involves the replacement of the Faceplate, the Rear Panel and the Digital Circuit Board. We will need the unit at the factory for at least a week. Please contact your Bryston Dealer and they will arrange a time schedule for sending in the unit. The warranty on the SP1.7 upgrade remains as of the original time of purchase of the SP1.

=======================

Some of my previous writing was incorrect, so I hope this makes amends. Wonderful news regarding the 5.1 analog bypass and 96 kHz digital input. Seems to address all my major concerns.

I will start saving my nickels now.

Peace
