I've had absolutely no problems whatsoever with my 950 in either two channel or multichannel audio. I think all this talk about its two channel deficiencies is over-hyped.

On my particular case, I believe that the lack of bass I experienced is most likely a defect in the unit I received. I did not hear the same thing when I listened to both of Will's 950s. The difference was night and day.

rmbg,

So what is going on with your unit? Are you getting a replacement to try or are you returning yours? What did the Outlaws say?

My second 950 sounds different than the original one. Part of the difference may be the hiss fix. Don't know if my second unit has the FINAL hiss fix. Anyway, it would be nice to know what's being changed in the 950.

Applejelly,

I am still waiting for the new units to ship out. I am getting a replacement.

I wonder if the final 950 is supposed to sound different from the original 950, other than reducing the hiss. Will it sound any less harsh?

I have a stupid question. When I listen (watch) DVDs they are much softer than CDs. Comfortable listening volume is about -20 db for CD but at least 0db, maybe +5 db for DVDs. It doesn't seem to matter whether I decode as dolby digital or another souround format. Both plaers are form Sony, both are connected to the 950 via digital interconects (from Outlaw). Is there an adjustment somewhere to boost output level for DVD?

DVD's are generally recorded at a lower level than CD's or video tapes. Try putting a CD in your DVD player and listening to it -- you'll most likely want to use about the same volume level that you use for the CD player.

Unfortunately, no.

Yes there is. It's called the "volume" knob.
