Ok 3 more HDMI inputs I am with you on that, but
THX ? why would you need that? The system performs easily to that standard. I personally don't really care about certificates as long as the system performs. And remember Abbey road studios (Star wars, Lord of the rings, etc...) uses B&W 800D which are not THX certified to create soundtracks.
Lyngdorf EQ, I think you will get a long way with the 5 level of parametric EQ per channel.
New codec are possible with a free hardware upgrade.... be patience.- Bottom

I actually only use my 9000es via analog through my 2ch system for sacd. and a superb player it is for that have found. the dac implementation, power supplies and analog output stage is probably one of the best I've ever seen on a player. can jsut imagine the 777es being a fine player that it is doing wonderfull things over analog as well. whatever you end up getting for your main system wettou do give the 777es a go through it you might just be plesantly suprised !

on another forum members suggestion also decided to try thx ultra 2 post processing on a DTS-HDMA 5.1 sound track on the Ronin Blu-ray and found that to add very nicely for rear speaker info for 7.1 speaker output.
definitely now value THX processing thats for sure, but do have a surround setup with surrounds as per THX arrangement and THX ultra2 sub in the velo DD15 so perhaps more benefit to me than some others"Technology is a drug. We can't get enough of it."- Bottom

Originally posted by sikonikoAs far as I know, there isn't anything that says they couldn't add it later. If the SSP-600 had THX2Ultra, I don't see why they couldn't add it here.

I understand that the SSP-800 will perform beyond THX in terms of specs, but it still would be nice to have the post processing for movies such as THX Loudness Plus™, THX Re-EQ, THX TIMBRE MATCHING™ and THX-EXFarming looks mighty easy when your plow is a pencil, and you're a thousand miles from the corn field."Dwight D.
