Is the Meridian 568 still good in 2005

I am just getting into home theater and am looking for a good processor. I have read a lot of good things about the Meridian 568mkII. Can anybody give advice on the Meridian or good alternatives. I want to stay in the under $2000 range.

Thanks,
-Pete

The 568 is an all digital box. It does have a DAC and a digital volume control. Not sure if the 861 has an analog volume control or not.

I have been usung my 568.1 since Feb 2000. It still sounds fantastic, and has all the functionality you will need for 90% of all pre/pro applications (DD,DTS,ProLogic decoding, along with pre-amp).

The only question I would have, and this applies to all current (new) gear purchases as well, is how will they handle DD-HD and DTS-HD? Is new hardware required or is it just a SW upgrade? But "xxx-HD" is a problem for 2006.
