I may be making the jump near the end of the year.

    Is this just for the analog outputs? My Asus Ati based video card outputs HDMI, both audio and video. It was $89 six months ago.

    In, and out. It is 1.3, but it does not mention SACD compatibility:confused:

    I see, I didn't notice that it did HDMI in. No need for that on my PC.

    SACD only requires HDMI 1.2, but as I'm sure you've noticed, not all devices support it.

    Yeah I certainly will wait to see the reviews. If it doesn't play nice with a PC BR, and SACD I do not want.
