I'm a Systems Integrator, the reps for those companies have mentioned that CEDIA will be where they announce the new 1.3 products. How soon after is a guess due to knowing how quickly those companies deliver after announcing. Theta can delay, delay, delay and usually does. They don't release a product until it's perfect.

Arcam likely has just made rather simple updates to their AVR350 for the Receiver. Their rep says to expect a Receiver replacements with HDMI 1.3 and a replacement for their inexpensive processor (in comparison to their other processor).

Arcam has been developing those products for awhile. Anthem just says look for them to announce new product at CEDIA, announced product doesnt mean shipping.

As for Sherwood Newcastle's Receiver it's going to ship late July/August.

As for chips, if January is recent, then yes it's been recent.

By the end of August we will have Receivers with HDMI 1.3 from Denon, Onkyo, Marantz, Sony, and Pioneer.

If Outlaw is smart they already have things moving forward just waiting on data from DTS...

It wouldn't surprise me to learn that both Sherwood and Outlaw have another processor in the works to be announced end of summer (at least by Sherwood).
