Any processor that decodes latest format??

[fabryuk]

Just would like to know whether there are any processor (not amp/ receiver) in sg that can do the following

 

1.  Has HDMI 1.3a

2.  Support all surround format eg DTS-HD , Dolby HD

3.  Good deinterlacer eg. Reon

 

 

I know Yamaha, Onkyo and Denon are available - but they are all have amp built in. 

 

I think the best route is buy a power amp (good one) and get a processor separately. 

 

Too bad the Integra is not available in sg

you can get those amp and not using the audio part what?

As a purist- I would think it is a waste of money (not to use the amp).  Furthermore a dedicated processor will sound better than a  receiver.  Why would I want to waste money on unused amplifier?
