BTW, I note that M does not specify the HDMI standard for the HD621. I hope it is 1.3, otherwise we cannot listen to the new lossless Dolby and DTS formats.

You should know what the heck your talking about before making a statement like that. Newer versions of HDMI do allow BITSTREAMING the newer codecs. But the HD621 BY DESIGN does not support bitstreaming the new codecs. You must decode these in the player for HD621 to take advantage. So 1.3 HDMI doesn't matter in that regard.

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