I just recently purchased a 990 so I have been following most of the posts for it. I am new to the pre/pro set up and would not know a DAC from a duck. It seems the more I read about the HDMI 1.3 the more I get confused. Especially because of the info from the following link: http://www.dts.com/dts-hd/dtshd-master-audio-with-existing-receiver.php
This shows a Blue ray or HD player being connected to a non HDMI receiver via analog cables. So why the concern about not having a 1.3 connection? What am I missing here? Patience please, Santa reads all these posts. LOL
