If the budget minded ($599) Onkyo TX-SR607 is already announced with PLIIz, then that means their chipmaker (Texas Instruments) already has the DSP solution in the works, which means Dolby has the specs finalized. Whoever is supplying the DSP chips for the 997 (I don't think it's Cirrus any more) should be announcing their solution some time this year. Anyone know the OEM chip supplier for the 997?
