Re: My vs. Your Crystal Ball...

Hey Neil,

You figure three years, if ever. I figure within one year. If you're right, I've given up nothing (separate HT/2-channel). If I'm right, you've paid a whole lot of bucks for a box for the kid's room.

You need to understand that when the digital interfaces (audio AND video) come into use, they are absolutely going to SLAM the market! Anyone caught without HDMI (video) and 1394 (audio) products won't be able to sell a single box. If you want to see this effect in action, check out the major HT forums and pay attention to recommendations on DVI/HDCP-enabled video displays. It'll be the same for audio very shortly.

What's going to be amusing is seeing the a'philes scrambling to reconfigure their analog systems when they discover they need 1394 processors to decode hirez.
