As Smart Little Lena points out, we won't likely hear about a newer model pre/pro until it is fairly close to shipping. Considering some of the things they've indicated they want to include in a "big brother" to the 950 (digital input for DVD-Audio and SACD with effective bass management for both, for example), the design process will take a while. A replacement for the 1050 is likely to be a higher priority (and probably one that will be quicker and easier to get to market), but even if it is a priority I'd guess it'll be a year or so. A slightly refined 950 could be a possibility, but I'd consider it to be a pretty slim possibility. I expect the 950 to be "it" for Outlaw for a good while. (Some food for thought: the 1050 is now several years old, and has not received any updates, even though something like Pro Logic II would be very popular.)
