These formats *need* to be supported - we don't want them going the same way as DVD-A/SACD.
Indeed. Are you jumping on a first gen player yourself, Mark (either format)?
With HD video there is an immediately obvious upgrade from SD images and there is already a demand for HD material. I remain hopeful that HD video won't go the same way as HD audio...
I agree. I've said this before, but I think the DVDA/SACD fears being repeated here only stretch so far. Given how aware consumers are of Hi Definition their knowledge of the benefits, and that such pre-recorded HD formats even exist, should be fairly healthy.
Do you think Meridian will support TrueHD and DTS via smartlink in there new HD players when or if they become available? Just curious if us folks with 568.2's will be able to enjoy True HD someday?
Precisely my dream scenario (there are other things I'd far sooner upgrade before buying a new pre-amp). Some kind of box of tricks that accepts HDMI 1.3 from a player (that boasts on board decoding for DD+, multi-channel True HD and DTS HD obviously), then offers two outputs; HDMI for video, then smartlink for audio. I still think it'll be something I'll always be left dreaming about though. Is it even possible?
