This is just the electronics manufacturers new business model, constant updates to the specs and new formats to make sure you need to upgrade equipment every year. Ever since video and audio where combined under HDMI everything has been a mess. I want every device to have a seperate HDMI for video that goes directly to the TV and another HDMI for HD audio going to my amplifier. I had my old Marantz DD/DTS amplifier connected via an optical cable for 12 years with zero issues, now what is the lifespan of an AVR? 1-2 years?
