For what purpose?
The only reason to have an HDMI input would be if it has a built-in DAC that supports I2S.
If you are referring to a headphone amp also being capable of Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio, your only options would be an integrated receiver.

Your initial response didn't overwhelm me with its politeness; I found it condescending. Apology not forthcoming.

Hey, stumbled on this thread on Google. The new Microsoft ZUNE HD devices use HDMI for direct digital out and since I hate Apple and no one seems to want to make anything compatible with ZUNE's USB interface, I wouldn't mind seeing a portable headphone amp with an HDMI in and a 24 bit DAC to bypass the cheap internal DAC. This would also be great for using the device in my car. It would be icing on the cake if it had a decent built in rechargeable power source. I dunno, maybe I'm asking too much.

Um, Microsoft discontinued the Zune.
That's probably why you aren't finding much support.
