Latest Pre Pro with all the new codecs

Denon, Krell (both Evo 707 and S1200) and Anthem is releasing the AVM 50v and D2v, Sim Audio has one they have been showing but it only has 2:1 HDMI (no kidding!) Mark Levinson 502, Cary 11a, Arcam has a new receiver so will soon have a pre/pro but the receiver isn't yet out.

The ML 502 lacks the latest CODECs.

Well Kal, as long as you feed it LPCM, but you are right, I more fault the 502 for it's lack of compatibility with Deep Color (should that ever come to light)

Kennyt, you are correct but I was responding in the spirit of this thread which specifically about the "Latest Pre Pro with all the new codecs." Of course, this is an issue that will go away, in time, as the cost of including decoding in both players and processors becomes trivial. But not yet.........

Emotiva UMC-1, to be released "any day now"...At $699 it is going to seriously embarrass some very well-respected names (think Krell, Cary, Bryston, etc.) It gets my vote for Product of the Year, 2009...
