That's not the point. If (as a manufacturer) you use HDMI then you are bound by HDMI license agreements.

Such a device would be very nice for home users, but bear in mind that the entire purpose of the HDMI copy-protection and licensing is to prevent the availability of hi-res audio being output in unencrypted digital form.

Are you certain that this "device" is valid for copy-protected HDMI audio? If so then I think that any manufacturer is on dodgy ground. Even more so if the device outputs hi-res PCM that is not encrypted in any way. If the device works only for audio without the copy-protection flags then it is next to useless.

Also, only six channels are of any use to Meridian processor owners at the present time.
