The 3xSPDIF board has not been fitted to any Bluray player yet. Many of us have players and some with players known to not be moddable (like a PS3). Most PS3's will also give you SACD once a HDMI solution arrives.

The HDMI2MHR devices is a very attractive solution.

Also the HDMI2MHR device might be able to transfer more "Meta Data" as Meridian Players do now over MHR.

If nothing is announced by end of summer you might seek alternate solutions.

Most are waiting for the the latest gen of Blu-Ray players even if they want to go the modded approach or waiting for the GeFen modded gadget. In all 3 cases it's waiting game so you might as well make an informed choice and wait to see what happens.

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.
