That's true for audio, for now. But it's already not true for video: Anyone making an HD-DVD or Blu-Ray disc can set the flag that prevents analog from seeing a resolution higher than 640x480. There doesn't appear to be any concerted movement to eliminate analog connections in audio, for a number of good reasons, but it's not impossible in principle. -- mkozlows ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mkozlows's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27136 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
