High quality processors with HDMI 1.3

Do any of the higher end manufactures have processors capable of HDMI 1.3 for processing the new coding strategies? If so, which ones?

My understanding is that NAD has their own variant as well, based on the same model. Now, there are others Older Halcro 80/100's can be sent back to the factory and upgraded, or you can buy a new Halcro 180/200, which will also handle these codecs. Further, the new Cary pre-amp/processor series can also do it. Here is a link that will give you all the info you need. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=965362

I was very reluctant to replace the EAD, but it drove my wife and kid crazy. The EAD was one of the best around BITD. Call me crazy, but I think the NAD sounds better. It has HDMI 1.3. Killer build quality and nice remote as well.
