I also have to give the Bryston SP 1.7 the thumbs up. Prior I owned a Proceed AVP. It was a great machine but I was unwilling to pay the huge upgrade cost. So I sold it and bought the 1.7 I have no regrets. I prefer the sound of the internal dacs of the 1.7 as well. Also the 1.7 has true analogue bypass which equals the BP-25. It is a great machine with 20 year warranty and excellent customer service.
