I guess it comes down to what you consider an "upscale processor". I would consider Lexicon, Classe, Meridian and Theta to be upscale - and they do not include Ethernet that I am aware of.


True, but Marantz's AV7005 at $1500 and Integra's DHC-40.2 at $1200 both have it so I don't think it's really a upscale feature anymore for prepros or receivers. Because the 978 will be upgradeable via usb the lack of Ethernet should not be a huge deal, though Ethernet would have been a more eloquent way to do it.
