Since you already own the BDA-1 ,getting the BDP-1 is the way to go.There is no comparison.
I played with the Apple TV 1st generation and external DAC last summer,and the sound was horrible to my ears,my Wadia 170/ipod classic 120gb combo easily outperformed the Apple TV playing and comparing the same tunes.
I own the bdp-1/bda-1 now.
