Hello,
I too am interested in the RSP-1069 ... I would like to get into HDMI switching as most all of my components have an HDMI output. The price is a bit steep for me and Rotel technology seems to be somewhat slow to develop but I am a sucker for the build quality. I thought I read that the HDMI spec on the 1069 would NOT support Blu-Ray, Dolby TrueHD and DTS Master HD audio or anything in the future requiring the new 1.3 spec. I find that somewhat discouraging but I have also read its not that big a deal. If the processor has certain attributes it can deal with the new audio codecs and the older HDMI spec can do 1080p. I literally read one article and then read a contradictory article, so I dont know what to believe. To play it safe I am looking for a processor that will support 1.3. Can the Rotel processors be flashed to 1.3 OR is it hardware specific? Might be time to fire off an email to customer support
