High end processors with HDMI 1.3a

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

Tdbdds: before you jump on the Integra/onkyo you should read about the problems on avsforum... there are audio drop outs and delays from the HDMI offconvert... service/support have required sending the unit back to be upgraded... I was all set to hunt down and Integra and decided not to after doing the research.

What do you mean by "high end processor"? High end video or audio? The pricier Denon receivers have 1.3a as well as the Realta chip. I doubt anyone (except Faroudja) would argue there's a better video processor. If you're looking for the best video, go with a processor or receiver that has the Realta chip and 1.3a. Otherwise you've got 1.3a, but lower quality video processing to start with.

I'm not connected with any manufacturers, just a Denon receiver owner.
