It should have already been released, but NAD decided to upgrade it from HDMI 1.2a to 1.3 at the last minute. They are saying late August or later now. I suspect it will not be available till around the end of the year. If I buy the A-1400, I plan to use Axiom's lay-a-way plan which will give me a year to pay it off, but still lock into the pre-order price (I think). I suspect the 30 day trial will still apply after it is received. I want to make sure that whatever pre/pro I go with has some user hours logged on it to make sure the dam thing works right. I'm fed up with promises and lip service from the manufacture that firmware updates will resolve all issues. Considering that, I won’t be buying a pre/pro for at least six months.
