I am considering a processor upgrade for my 5.1 HT but so far have been disappointed (or mis-informed) about the current high-end offerings. Our setup is a Marantz SR9200 (internal amps disabled) driving Requests/Cinema through Krell FPB250m's. Originally I had been leaning towards a Krell Showcase but since our HT has two HDTV displays, we should find something with HDMI/DVI switching capabilities. To add more confusion, my local retailer suggests waiting until this coming spring for the new processors with HDMI3 capabilities. Many of the consumer-grade electronics offer an array of HDMI/DVI ports, but I dont seem to find much at the higher end of the scale. Can anyone offer any suggestions? I realise that many processors including the Showcase have component switching....I did not want to start an argument on the HDMI vs. component performance, but am more interested in how important the all-digital interfaces will be in the coming years (especially considering HDCP or that other copy protection scheme...I forget what it is called.....).
Thanks,
Tj
