Things must get better. Companies like Integra, are making the big guns look silly.

I don't think it's shipped yet, but should very soon, may even be out.

Yep, they did go with HDMI 1.1, so to get the new codecs, you'll need a player that can pass them as LPCM.... This is part of the issue I see with this piece. We still haven'

t settled on HOW these new codecs will be sent to pre/pros and receivers. Many are going to bitstream, but some cling to PCM. If sometime down the road, it becomes bitstream, then you might find it hard to get a Blu-ray player to go with this piece. Sorry, just my inherent paranoia and uncertainty in this ever changing market...

By that rationale, it doesn't matter if you have a world-class power supply, hand-picked parts, a chassis that is completely resonance-free and made of aluminum, and an engineering staff that is one of the best in the world and dedicated to true high-end performance....so long as you can decode TrueHD & DTS-HD Master Audio, eh?

I am not saying it would not be nice if all the high-end stuff could incorporate the latest features into their products....
