From reading other sites about other processors, THX Ultra2 is a big step up in DSP requirements. If so, Meridian may need to save DSP room for this, if they plan to support it. Then of course there could be other formats coming along soon. Maybe they even plan to upsample to 192, which will need more DSP. They have been pretty quite about what the future holds so they may have some big stuff coming that we don't have any clues about.

I imagine they plan this DSP upgrade to last many years and are making the most of it.

If you want DVD-A you must buy their processor.

Either way, I understand your gripe. Good thing I did not mention anything else I saw or heard. [Linked Image from softronix.com] (Just kidding.)
