Orlando...We will check with Dolby and DTS to see when they anticipate hardware availability. I was talking with Denon about this two weeks ago, and there were no chipsets currently available that supported these formats. What Denon is doing is equipping all their mid-level and above receivers with 8 channel analog inputs, figuring that the first use of the chipsets (when available) will be in the HD-DVD/BluRay players themselves (similar to the Dolby digital decoders in early DVD players). In addition to the playback chipsets, HDMI 1.3 chipsets aren't isn't available yet. Like I said we will keep our eyes open and ask around, but the earliest we will see product would be CES, and I actually bet it will probably be 2007 CEDIA. Oh well I guess I'll have to go back next year.....
