Hi jam200,
RSP-1582s with the new HDMI 2.0 boards have begun shipping, and we are currently filling backorders. Note- these units do not presently support HDR, but we expect this to be fixed with a software update at a later date.

That is great news. Will the Rotel website be updated as well to reflect the new information? Thanks.

So, if we were to order a RSP-1582 from a supplier now would it come with the new HDMI board and how could we tell from the box? I would be ordering from Magnolia or Modia.- Bottom

B&W in Germany says they haven't received any boards for the upgrade yet. The boards were supposed to come in 2016 for free for early 1582 buyers (ordered the RSP mid 2015 and received it January 2016). 2016 passed ... no HDMI board. 2017 passed ... no HDMI board. First month of 2018 is also already over and still ... no HDMI board.
My 1582 just turned 2. How old does it have to become to finally get the board? :roll:- Bottom

I contacted Rotel on Wednesday regarding the HDMI and HDCP upgrade. The upgrade to HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 is free and is now available. The upgrade to HDMI 2.0a does incur a charge of $300.00 for additional hardware. The upgrade to HDMI2.0a would only be useful if High Dynamic Range was needed. I chose to upgrade to HDMI 2.0a. Rotel pays for the shipping back to the user. The turn-around-time is 21 days. I shipped my 1582 today.- Bottom

Contact tim.wyatt@bowerswilkins.com at Rotel and he can give you all the details of the upgrade. The HDMI 2.0a upgrade is $300 plus the cost of shipping to Rotel. Shipping cost depends on where you live.- Bottom
