Day two is in the bag at CEDIA 2007. Some of the items not posted due to lack of interest or information:

NAD has some relatively inexpensive new gear on the way. Look for an HDMI 1.3 compliant receiver and pre/pro in the $2k ballpark.

Sherwood also has an HDMI 1.3 receiver in the works.

Integra announced a forthcoming high end HD DVD player, the DHS-8.8. Not much of an announcement, as it's a rebadged version of the announced Onkyo HD DVD player, which is a rebadged Toshiba HD-XA2. The Integra does add Wolfson and Burr Brown DACs and RS-232. The unit will sell for $1099.

Marantz showed a mock-up of a Blu Ray player, but as to whether or not it was a design slated for production is anyone's guess since no details are available.

The computer component manufacturers see how much fun the Format War is and are picking sides. Acer is throwing it's weight behind HD DVD, and ASUS is picking Blu Ray.

Lastly, the Blu Ray camp claimed they have surpassed HD DVD in stand alone player sales. Toshiba fired back stating that 3 weeks don't paint the whole picture, and that Sony can stick it because since inception, HD DVD is mopping the floor with Blu Ray in stand alone player sales. (I'm paraphrasing here)

And that's about it for days 1 and 2.
