In Reply to: Used High End Processor Recommendation (<$2,000) posted by bernie on August 22, 2002 at 18:46:50:
There are plans for processors to include those capabilities as well once the flamewar between firewire and USB is settled and the standards have been set. lwang is right in saying you must consider a processor with passthrough capability (for now).The problem is this, I believe that it will be out of date in 1 year or less, not 10, because that is when I think they will come out with the new standards*. Front ends are already coming with a port suitable for software upgrades, soooo o o o . When the new processors come out, the units you seek
1. will be cheaper than they are now or
2. will not be the units you seek any more.If you would likely upgrade in a year or so, go ahead. If not, maybe you should have a think about it.
*They are pushing this hard, in a recession everyone wants a new source of income.
Follow Ups:
If you bought a processor more than a year (more like 6 months) ago, it will not be able to process some of the latest format soundtracks on DVD's even now. So better make sure that expensive processor is upgradeable somehow. Or maybe Dolby/dts 5.1 is plenty good enough, in which case don't worry, though better DAC's are getting cheaper all the time as they make their way down the food chain.
