Well while it's true that there was a delay between Players with HDMI 1.3 and processors...

The big reason for the delay was entirely due to corporations already having their products lined up for 2006/2007 release.

We're just now seeing HDMI 1.3 hit the stores in Receivers. Currently shipping is the Onkyo unit for instance.

Denon will have their units shipping in June/July.

Arcam will be announcing new Receivers with HDMI 1.3 as well as a Processor with 1.3 at CEDIA, and I believe some if not all those units will be shipping immediately after CEDIA.

Even Theta Digital has an upgrade for their Casablanca III in the works for a November release.

Anthem will have HDMI 1.3 units announced at CEDIA as well.

You will also see a lot of TVs being released that are Deep Color capable at CEDIA.

So I'd suspect that Outlaw if they wanted, could have new processors and receiver announced between September and sometime early next year.

You'd have to figure they would want to get it in for the holidays.

I believe that DTS taking their time is a much bigger reason for delays than the chips.
