Chris, this has been covered many times. There are several logical issues with apodizing being not in the processor.

e.g. to use apodizing in the 2 DSP's that have it means you set the processor to not upsample. By doing so it means all hi-res material gets downsampled....a waste !!

As Malcolm states...what about the G98, 598, 596, 588, etc etc etc..in fact any digital source you might want to treat consistently

The only way out is that M would make an SPDIF-HDMI gadget. I may be dreaming but I swear I heard a rumour that they did have one on the bench.




Rgds,
