CEDIA 2015

The big news from the Integra front is that all the surround receivers announced at 2015 CES now support HDMI 2.0a, accommodating the metadata that drives HDR, a significant improvement to Ultra HD. Also supported is HDCP 2.2, the anti-copy technology necessary to get UHD signals from sources to UHDTVs. Like most other manufacturers, Integra is going to support DTS:X height-enhanced surround via firmware update to come next year. The only new receiver announced at CEDIA was a stereo model, the Integra DTM-40.7 ($600), which includes Wi-Fi, AirPlay, Bluetooth, dual zones, and 32-bit DAC.

Now that Cabasse is being distributed by Integra, its distinctive speakers were on display at the same booth. Cabasse is moving into streaming with the Stream Amp ($700), which does both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
