But even as this IS digital... it is to quote the description "with USB's digitally synthesized audio and combines them into a single, convenient HDMI signal."
Which... if I am not mistaken... means that it does not transport a real 5.1 audio stream... be it DTS or whatever. Surely the description itself is a bit lackluster. The thing is just... if I were the manufacturer/reseller... and this WAS supporting 5.1+ audio... then I'd tell the people. This way it more or less screams 2.0 only...

Don't wanna start a flame war either... so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong... as I'm not certain in this case...]]>Oct 5th 2009 9:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/kanex-mini-displayport-adapter-will-bring-your-mac-mini-to-hdmi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/kanex-mini-displayport-adapter-will-bring-your-mac-mini-to-hdmi/Oct 5th 2009 10:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/kanex-mini-displayport-adapter-will-bring-your-mac-mini-to-hdmi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/kanex-mini-displayport-adapter-will-bring-your-mac-mini-to-hdmi/

Apple uses industry standard ports. Did you think Apple pioneered display ports? Firewire? USB? Not since the days of ADB and ADP did they use their own ports and those are 2 isolated circumstances. Now they use standard ports FW, FW800, USB 2.0, DVI, HDMI and yes DP.]]>Oct 5th 2009 12:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/kanex-mini-displayport-adapter-will-bring-your-mac-mini-to-hdmi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/kanex-mini-displayport-adapter-will-bring-your-mac-mini-to-hdmi/Oct 5th 2009 2:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/kanex-mini-displayport-adapter-will-bring-your-mac-mini-to-hdmi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/kanex-mini-displayport-adapter-will-bring-your-mac-mini-to-hdmi/

I believe they were also one of the first to push USB in all lines of products, and they were definitely the first to eliminate legacy ports for USB in one of the iMac lines.
In the matter of Display Port, you can blame the manufacturers who are already looking beyond HDMI when it has hardly become the defacto mainstream port on computers.

Often, Apple gets emergent technologies wrong, but they sometimes get them right. The clean break can be a good thing after a short transition (such as dumping OS9 classic support even though it was still too soon for many when it happened). It forces the entire industry to keep moving forward as opposed to the continued Registry, DLL OS that someone else cannot seem to be able to leave behind.]]>Oct 5th 2009 5:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/kanex-mini-displayport-adapter-will-bring-your-mac-mini-to-hdmi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/kanex-mini-displayport-adapter-will-bring-your-mac-mini-to-hdmi/Oct 5th 2009 9:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/kanex-mini-displayport-adapter-will-bring-your-mac-mini-to-hdmi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/kanex-mini-displayport-adapter-will-bring-your-mac-mini-to-hdmi/
i can see there being a niche market for this -- such as people who only have HDMI input available for digital audio, or who want their audio and video on the same channel on their TV. ]]>Oct 5th 2009 10:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/kanex-mini-displayport-adapter-will-bring-your-mac-mini-to-hdmi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/kanex-mini-displayport-adapter-will-bring-your-mac-mini-to-hdmi/
