Onkyo Launches Next Generation HDMI Receiver

Filed in archive Audio on April 25, 2007

According to the folks at Crave:

"Onkyo has become the first mainstream manufacturer to officially announce an array of home audio products that offer the two big features that have been MIA on home audio products to date: HDMI 1.3 and on-board decoding of Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, and DTS-HD Master Audio soundtracks found on HD DVD and Blu-ray discs."

With prices starting at just $380 and moving up quickly, this nice audio system may soon become THE object of audiophiles desire until Christmas. These babies will be available in black or silver, to match any home decor.

We'll see what the rest of the big players have to say about this. I expect we'll see others work quickly to catch up with the Onkyo folks.
