Dolby TrueHD decoding receivers

[Mr.BBQ]

When are these supposed to come out? I tried searching around on google and the rest of audioholics without much luck...Because I was thinking about getting a new receiver soon and figured if they were going to come out soon I'd just wait a bit more. Thanks in advance.

(I'm guessing they haven't come out, didn't find any...)

i expect the flagship $2500+ models will have them by the Xmas 2006 season.

 

[Audioholics]

We're guessing nobody will have them until mid-2007 since it depends (currently) on HDMI 1.3. Without HDMI 1.3, these formats are analogue or sent via PCM over HDMI 1.1+

From what I have read, the first gen HD-DVD and BluRay players wont even output more than 2 channels in Dolby True HD. Thus, receiver manufacturers are in no hurry to add these features. I didn't see any mention of additional decoding in the new Yamaha models, so it looks like you will have to wait until next year for this and HDMI 1.3.
