Why would they need any special dispensation for the player --> processor? This is no different than player --> receiver.

I get the issues with player --> receiver --MHR--> DSP Loudspeaker as being potentially problematic. I don't see the processor portion as being "special" for Meridian when Anthem/Paradigm have HDMI in their processors already.

Since the M- processor uniquely delivers digitally all the way to the speaker (end device); the 'end' device in the chain becomes the speaker.

I think HDMI requires digital signals to retain HDMI copyright encryption through final device in the chain (TV or monitor for video). I think M- has to get permission to transpose the copy protection.

I had always thought M- to be in the best position for this as achieving approval for MHR to carry full digital signals with it's copy protection.
