Agreed. So there's this thing called High Definition MULTIMEDIA Interface that was designed with the specific intention of using one cable to transmit audio and video, yet for some reason, Onkyo has managed to bypass the entire concept of this interface. It's as if they are taking the engineers who worked so hard on this medium, lined them up and pissed on them while shouting obscenities about their families. The only reason this is done, is to force people into buying their more expensive counterparts. I would assume that they had to pay the licensing fee to use HDMI or it wouldn't be on there in the first place. The audio data is already in the receiver, all they have to do is get the data to decoder, which is already there as well. One connection. No cost. What Losers.
The N9 has arrived. What we can say from our first experience is that we're in the presence of a fantastically designed device with a gorgeous AMOLED screen and some highly responsive performance.
