Shucks, Gonk! I was hoping Outlaw would have the very first budget receiver on the market with a digital interface for DVD-Audio and SACD.

Thanks Jed M! You have better eyes than I!

Or based on past predictions, perhaps a little afterwards?

From here

amp with balanced inputs.

Who called that one?

I sure looks like a headphone jack but I am afraid I didn't pay attention to it. I wish I took a high res photo of the front. Sorry I didn't do a better job. It was hard to take these shots because they didn't allow much time to see the new equipment. It was in a room that they were doing demos in. They had the door closed unless you were inside for the demo. I guess we need to hear from others that attended the show.

Either way, desperado, you got some good stuff for us. I suspect we'll see a newsletter with at least a few more details next week.

What do you suppose you do with an RS-232 serial connection on the 1070?

good call JT!

Two questions for the master prognosticator...

1) Would you think that a seven channel balanced amp would be a foreshadow of a seven channel balanced pre-pro in Outlaw's future?

2) Would the new Outlaw two channel amp also include balanced inputs?

ATI amps have balanced inputs, and I believe they are built at the same facility as Outlaw's amps. For those who have audio gear that use balanced I/O, the inclusion of pre-amps and amps with balanced connections would be very welcome.

yes, i would bet on it.

Me too.

Most likely scenario is firmware updates (such as the DTS-ES fix that the 950 got with a chip swap-out).
