The new Onkyo and the new Integra HD DVD players will pass raw bitstream via HDMI 1.3a.
The Toshiba HD-XA2 and HD-XE1 are also supposed to get a firmware upgrade this fall to do the same.
Passing raw bitstream also allows the AVR to decode 7.1 discrete and likely will have less jitter than using linear PCM over HDMI.
