I imagine the next big sea-change will be easy availability of digital audio over HDCP-protected HDMI from player to pre-pro / receiver. Not sure how close we are to that... anyone ?




It is here already. I just picked up a Toshiba XA2 hd dvd player which outputs multichannel PCM over HDMI 1.3. You need a receiver with HDMI 1.1 or higher to process it.
