Hi folks,

I've noticed that many of you wish that the RIAA/movie industry would stop stalwarting and allow receiver/DVD/CD manufacturers to use a digital interface for the transferring audio and video signals. Well, it seems Pioneer, which bridged the gap between SACD and DVD-A earlier this year by releasing the Pioneer Elite DV-47a, has decided to produce the first receiver and DVD player that will accept audio/video digital transfers via the 1394 interface. This is exciting news, and I hope other receiver manufacturers (hint, hint Outlaw) will being producing receivers with FireWire/DVI interfaces. Just thought I throw it out there. Here's the link to the story:
