In Reply to: You expect a Receiver to handle TrueHD any better at this point in time ? posted by oscar on September 19, 2007 at 20:05:41:
Neither my Toshiba HD-A20 nor Sony PS/3 even offers 5.1 channel analog audio, so an HDMI 1.3x-connected receiver or processor really is my best bet for surround audio!
Meridian should be intimately familiar with the TrueHD spec because they helped to develop it. But at the moment, they don't seem to offer a product that will actually process it.
I think I will not be shoveling many thousands of dollars into this particular hobby, because I'm not convinced that I need to in order to have a lot of fun. In the 2-channel world, I've already owned my share of Levinsons, ARCs, c-js, etc, etc, etc, so a lot of that whole "pride of ownership" business is mostly out of my system. And I got no problems with doing minor circuit mods to a Denon or Onkyo receiver if it'll get me to where I want to go.
