Latest AVPs with HDMI 1.3a

I am in the process of building a state of the art home theater with true acoustic engineering and all the tricks built in. However, as I contemplate the equipment to use, I'm at a loss. It seems the latest technology on Blu Ray has some real upside but there aren't a lot of choices in separates. Can you all recommend or at least list the latest AV Processors with full up to date HDMI 1.3a support. All responses will be greatly appreciated.

There is an Integra 9.8 on Videogon right now for $900. If you'd like to spend even less money, wait 1 month for the Emotiva UMC-1 with ALL the bells and whistles for only $699. Use the $3,000 you save and apply it towards other equipment or better speakers... -RW-

One or the other is necessary but not sufficient. One can have HDMI 1.3a in both and still not have the necessary codecs in either. Kal
