we seen this type of rationale came from people who own megabucks CD player against SACD when it first came out. remember?

look:

the poll was meant to find out if people will intentionally buy expensive new video components now, in the full knowledge that that component isn't future proof.
it's not for your rants about imagined problems of 3D.
we have already read enough about them in ole's thread below.

case in point:

the new upcoming ayre DX5.

said to have been given an overhaul in virtually every part of its audio section - both digital and analog.
knowing charles hanson track record, it is probably going to sound not too bad.
problem is: it is based on the soon to be outdated oppo HDMI 1.3 platform, and it cost $10K.

given this current transitional period, is it wise to buy this ayre player now?
