Suggestions for product upgrades:
-full video upconversion from any analog source to DVI
-XM or Sirrus sattelite radio tuner
-THX Ultra certification
-Parametric EQ or automatic room EQ
-Switched AC outlets
-Bluetooth interface for PC connectivity

It is a fantastic looking and sounding product and I intend to own one as soon as the pocketbook allows. But a few additional tweaks and the 999 is born!

Things that would detract from a next gen 990 for me:
-full video upconversion from any analog source to DVI
-THX Ultra certification
-HDTV Terrestrial Tuning

I have never ran video through a receiver or Pre/Pro and would really like to see all those connectors go away. It is time for analog to go away. Now if it had digital video (HDMI) only I might be able to live with it.
THX is pretty meaningless these days I'd much rather save the cost.
I'd leave the tuner to an external box or the display.

I know I'm in the minority but I really don't want video in my Pre/Pro especially analog. I would like to see the Pre/Pro focus on audio and leave the video to something else. There must be others who can't stand OSDs. One thing I like about the 950 is you can set it up from the front panel.

My main requirement will be an HDMI interface that has a pathway for Hi-Rez digital audio to the DSP. In the mean time I'll take Firewire. smile

I could care less about a radio (don't listen to it anyway), or THX (It's nothin but an overpriced sticker) and I really don't care for DVI but it is better than component but, can I please have more than 2 digital inputs?

Come on, after watching DVD, Digital TV (SDTV) and HDTV and soon to come HD DVD and/or Blu-Ray, how many people still use the VCR let alone 4 of them. There are 4 different S Video inputs on the back of the model 990. COME ON!!!!

I WANT MY HDTV-BLURAY-PS3-PC ALL DIGITAL!!!!!!

IT should also do my laundry and walk the dog...

My opinion is that all the original suggestions (except maybe the first) are a waste of time and wouldn't make the unit any more attractive to most buyers. But, of course, I could be wrong.

Cheers,

WALKED? Are you kidding?

I want to be carried and then gently placed on the ground!

Painttload:

HEY! Don't confuse me with them little "rat dogs". I am certainlly not at all like those alledged dogs you see with the likes of Paris Hilton.

I guess you could call me a "junkyard dog", or perhaps something more along the lines of a good, old fashioned mutt, though that means only that I benefit from a variety of great gene pools.

Hmmm. I guess you are right. Maybe some exercise on a doggie treadmill or about 20 minutes or so chasing the pure-breds at the off-leash park might be nice. I take back the "carry me" thing, though getting from here to there in a limo might be nice.

OK, and if she snuggles me, I guess I might consent to getting carried by Paris, but I doubt that is in the cards.

What a coincidence: We're both at significant round numbers in the post counter. Congrats on half a K of posts.
