Thanks for providing the link to the product brochures. The QX-8 does not include an HDMI input. Am I alone in wishing that Ayre would include at least one for DSD decoding from a suitably equipped blu ray player, such as the OPPO 105? Including at least one HDMI input would seemingly make this product a slam dunk purchase.

You're not alone.  I was hoping the QX-5 would have an HDMI input for audio.  I assume the licensing cost was too high.  I purchased it anyway and somehow manage to cope! ;-)
