The notable exception appears to be the Arcam device - no surprise there, given this presentation is from Arcam. Bottom line as I read things: it is possible to implement an audio interface over HDMI well, but very few manufacturers do. Therefore developing a source component with audio out on HDMI is inviting it to be partnered with devices that are likely to make a hash of things. If someone were to build a new generation of Squeezebox type players (which is where this thread started), we'd better pray that HDMI isn't the ONLY digital output it offers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96660 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
