Sherwood does Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio
Just yesterday I was asking other manufacturer’s to follow Denon’s lead and release receivers and processors that support Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD Master.
And today, we got a reply!
Sherwood is releasing a receiver for $1500 that does the whole HDMI 1.3, Dolby TrueHD, and DTS HD Master thing. Ultimate AV says:
The 972 looks like it maintains Sherwood’s strong emphasis on value and performance oriented features. In spite of its $1,500 price tag, the 972 will be loaded with meaningful features like full video processcing, transcoding and scaling, and automated calibration and room EQ by Audyssey. The video processing is powered by Faroudja’s Cortez, and XM connect and play is thrown in just for giggles.
The R-972’s onboard amplification is ratd at 100-watts per over seven channels, and will ship in August.
Pretty cool, huh?

Until I hear an actual review of this receiver I’ll wait for Denon.

Martin: Sherwood electronics are always well-reviewed, so I’ll be watching this one.
