I read that this morning. I'm not sure that I'd rule out getting an HD-A2 entirely (thinking about getting one for $250), although I don't know that I'd invest much in discs. I agree that Knowles' assertions are so riddled with errors as to be devastatingly absurd, and a counter-point was needed. This format war has too much confusion already (HDMI versions, new audio formats) without adding such misinformation to the mix.
