I am a custom installer/system designer/programmer who has a C2/A52 that I got when I was with a custom shop in Los Angeles. I have been sitting around waiting for Parasound to do something with that expansion port on the back and it seems to me that it is perfect for a HDMI input.
This new ZHD should have two outputs. One to go to the display device and one to go into the C1/C2. How simple is that? I would really like to think that Parasound (or Vinci Labs) will provide a HDMI upgrade to the C1/C2/Titan so that it will keep up with the rest of the world.
I understand that they have wisely waited for the HDMI 1.3 standard to be finalized to include hi-rez multichannel audio. Now that it has, it only makes sense to use it to bring SACD/DVD-A and any other future hi-rez audio into these processors digitally so time alignment and digital bass management will finally work for 5.1 inputs. If Parasound does not do this within the next year or so, I will have to move on to something else. I love my C2 but the rest of the world is moving on.
