Yes, SP3 uses the same part as in BDA1 - CS4398. BDA1 in addition uses a sample rate converter chip which reduces time jitter. BDA2 uses AK4399. They have very comparable specifications.

Can't compare BDA2 vs BDA3 because it is in the future.
BDA2 vs SP3 - BDA2 has the advantage of supporting high speed high resolution USB streaming (but not DSD), BDA2 has a sample rate converter chip which reduces jitter and also AK4399 DAC chip has slightly higher specs than CS4398. Advantage of SP3 is that it supports multichannel sources (up to 7.1).
