I missed the reference to this when I first read through the announcement. This deserves a thread of its own. I just downloaded a copy (the server was slow - a lot of you must be doing the same right now).

I know what I'm reading this evening.

My biggest complaint (in fact my only complaint) as an 886 owner is the Onkyo Owner's Manual. As I've mentioned before the English is well-written - it's just that for such a complex piece of gear they do a horrible job of explaining its many features - if they even bother at all.

Even as I skim through it now, I see Outlaw's version as a huge improvement over Onkyo's - much more so that even their version of the SMS-1 manual is over Velodyne's. (And I loved Outlaw's version of that manual.)

While a deeper read is needed, so far it looks like Outlaw has completely demystified the 886!
