In Reply to: Receiver/processor choices for lossless multichannel audio like TrueHD? posted by 4season on August 21, 2007 at 21:53:07:
Before I read Robertc88's posting, I started skimming various websites looking for any products which simply offered all of the features mentioned in the title. Of the bunch, a Meridian receiver would possibly be the most interesting to me, but they don't actually offer anything quite like I had in mind-yet.
Onkyo TX-SR605 ~$400 (2 HDMI input)
Onkyo TX-SR705 (3 HDMI input)
Onkyo TX-SR805 (3 HDMI input)
Onkyo TX-SR875 (4 HDMI input)

Companies that do cinema, but no products offering DTS HD Master Audio + Dolby TrueHD + HDMI 1.3
Marantz
Panasonic
Kenwood
Harmon Kardon
Cambridge Audio (Azur 640R looks like a very interesting near-miss though)
Bose (I was trying to be somewhat complete in my survey)
Linn
Naim
McIntosh
Mark Levinson
Bang & Olufsen
Arcam
Quad
Meridian (definitely some interesting items there)
