High end processors with HDMI 1.3a
Cytocycle-I do not know of any hardware updates for the HDMI chips or, in fact, of any hardware updates at all. I have had the Integra since it was released and have only needed one firmware update for AudysseyPro use. There is a DSP update and ne... 
High end processors with HDMI 1.3a

cd player on sacd multi channel vs two channel
