I see quite a few folks coming to the Outlaws defense over at HTF. Glad to see some good posts in response to the goofy complaints by those who like to bash Outlaw any time they get a chance. Like comparing the 950 hiss fix to supplying re-built engines in a new car- huh?? I checked my unit again today for audible hiss. Absolutely no hiss with a digital connection- it's dead silent. In analog bypass/6 channel bypass (which I use with my SACD player) I can hear noise at a -10 volume setting on my set-up at 1-2 feet. At +10 I can hear hiss at 12-13'. However, at -10 volume level,it will drive you from the room. Again, this is with analog sources only. I've decided to keep mine. I don't hear any noise (hiss), even at loud listening levels, when listening to music or other analog sources. I like the way my unit sounds and performs. So- I'm keeping it. Could it be better- maybe- but I don't use this thing at those volume levels, so I guess I just don't think it's worth switching it out. But, if you are not happy, it looks like the Outlaws will get you another unit to try. It doesn't get a whole lot better than that- does it?
