I'd suggest giving it a chance before letting disappointment creep in. It does not appear to be all digital sources that are affected in all equipment combinations - the 1070 has been on the market since late last summer and between that duration on the market and the beta testing prior to that it would be impossible for digital inputs to simply be broken. The open forum that we have here is a very effective way to gather information about problems because everyone who has a unit is probably aware of the forum and can easily report it, but it is important to remember that even a couple dozen cases of the problem is still only a small portion of the total number of 1070's and 970's in use.
