ZBTW-gonk, you said, "'m curious about Bluetooth - what devices would you use with Bluetooth in a processor? Hadn't ever thought of an application for that."
Bluetooth would allow speakers, DVD, AMPs, & etc. to be connected without wires. From what I understand that's what going to happen next year around this time.. Microsoft/Intel and a number of Co. have signed on for making that happen.

Outlaw just uses existing chip sets, they don't really develop them (way too small for that).
That being said, there is nothing preventing them from using existing standards from the PC industry to design a modular controller (really a media PC).
I think this is the way to go, then they can sell cards where they add value or the end user can buy their own. Outlaw can handle the issues such as cooling, noise issues, power supplies etc.
The world moves on.

An automated room correction EQ of some sort is really the biggest option holding me back from making the purchase...I have my finger on the trigger but can not pull it just yet since I am still doing some research. Everything else in this unit is perfect for my needs.

I think on the 990(firmware upgrade) or future pre/pro we need tonal controls for each channel. The 990's current tonal controls seem to only adjust the mains.

In addition to bwallen77's suggestion, which is also discussed elsewhere on this forum I would like to have volume controls for each channel physically on the amplifier...just like in the old days. I suppose the reason not to do so might be that it would add "noise" and the pots might requiring cleaning in ten years or more.
Would like some indicator such as LED's for each channel. The controls might be sliders.

I would like to see a variation of the auto-eq and the tone controls. Lets have an intermediate solution, A parametric EQ for each channel, say 3-5 frequencies. Adjustiable gain, bandwidth, and freq. But not automatic. I use RoomEQ wizard with a Behringer FBQ2496 now and it works out great. But if the 990 had parametric built in, I could get rid of the Behringer & have it on all channels! I really don't need (or necessarily trust) the automatic modes.
