Q: If I was Outlaw, I'd see what it would take to do an Eprom (EEprom?) upgrade to the 950

A: Might need to swap out the Crystal processing chip, and there's no guarantee that the 950's architecture will support a newer processing engine. However, before even crossing that bridge, Cirrus has to release the appropriate chipset.

You're saying Cirrus's processing chip in the 950 might not support PLIIx. But the 950 came out just over a year ago and Dolby themselves suggest, in the twice.com page referenced above (and copied below), that many existing PLII products won't need new chipsets, just flash-memory upgrades in order to support PLIIx.

Onkyo, Integra and Meridian will offer the technology as a flash-memory upgrade to select products already available.


Onkyo, Integra and Meridian aren't using Cirrus chips to do PLII decoding, are they?
