High end processors with HDMI 1.3a

One word to describe the problem currently...

"BETA"

The longer you can wait the better compatibility can be generated HDMI 1.3b has already been spec'd to fix some more problems.... Most of the High end manufactures are waiting, a couple have jumped in Halcro (but people are sending their units to be updated all the time trying to get this to work). Your best bet are the Integra/Onkyo/Denons and go read up on avsforum about the problems with those..

I'm sticking with my Lumagen scaler and waiting to see how it looks at Xmas time...

Right now I believe the only people with HDMI 1.3a are Integra (DTC9.8) and Denon (AVP1) many high end companies like Classe, Lyngdorf, likely Meridian but not confirmed and others are desperately working to get them out, but those are the few currently made I am sure of.

I have the NAD T175. I love it. I replaced a EAD Ovation with the NAD. I do NOT miss the EAD.

I suspect that we will see quite a number of new 1.3a-compatible high-end processors by the time of or at CEDIA. Some are promised before but there have been too many scheduling deferrals to be confident.

At the moment, the Denon, Integra/Onkyo and NAD are available.

Thanks for all the input. I just read on the Krell website that their new Evolution 707 has HDMI 1.3 but at $25,000(a little more that I was wanting to spend). It also said that the S-1000 will be getting the capability later this year. Maybe jumping on a integra/onkyo for a couple of years until everything gets ironed out is the best plan.

Thanks
