Just agreed purchase on a new AV processor.
It's a private sale, so I can't really talk too much about it as these things can always fall through. Either way, it'll be a fair amout of dosh and is likely to be pretty much "end game" stuff as a source/processor for a number of years.

Hopefully collect on Sat and will be able to post pics then.
 
if it doesn't have hdmi then isn't that pretty much pointless nowadays? everything uses hdmi, my laptop, my pc, my games console, my sky box, etc, etc.

or are you feeding the tv directly and then using toslink (optical out) to process sound only?

Not quite. It's a two box solution, which might sound inelligent, but does mean that the HDMI box can be re-used with other processors, has given new life to what would normally be classfied as a legancy processor AND keeps "noisy" video data via HDMI away from audio circuits.
Please don't as me to explain the bit about "noise", only passing on what I've read elsewhere.
As such, the new processor will most definitely be able to handle not only BD audio, but also SACDs remixed to PCM from my BD player.
