May 30th 2007 10:21AM I hate lossy downloads. Give lossless AAC or FLAC and I will actually start buying online. Otherwise I get DRM-free higher quality music with CDs.

May 23rd 2007 9:47AM "2x HDMI with only Ver.1.1, no thanks, i'll wait for the Ver.1.3 HDMI with uncompressed HD sound"
...except HDMI 1.1 does do uncompressed pcm. HDDVD players and many blu-ray players decode true hd and output it as uncompressed pcm, so as to be compatible with older receivers. HDMI 1.3 is completely unnecessary for audio.
Why upconverting DVD players can be a gimmick {Engadget HD}
May 14th 2007 11:10AM Pretty good article, except for this:
"So now that we understand that all the signals are already being scaled, using a DVD player that scales actually makes the image get scaled twice, and as we all know, anytime you mess with a digital image, you risk mucking it up."
ALL dvd players "muck the image" unless sending the signal either through 480i hdmi (unlikely, and sometimes still is messed with) or through digital sdi (even more unlikely.)
