sweet mr.pink
and to answer a couple questions:
dtsma and dolby truehd decoding is not built in.. but I don't really care, i let my ps3 send it out lpcm for the dolby and i'll live with 1.5 on the dts atm while we wait for a ps3 update.
upgradiblity/no firmware? are you kidding? google it.. there is a competing board with pages and pages of firmwares for the new NAD amps.. The latest is 1.14 and it makes everything gravy baby. Came out today.
NAD's all over it, wouldn't give it up for anything...
