I couldn't wait either, so I took a different route. Upgraded to a Denon 3802(from a Denon 2700) This will get me by until the 950 and 770 are released. Depending on reviews I'm thinking I'll add the 770 first using the 3802 as a pre-pro and then-depending on reviews-possibly sell off the 3802 later this year and replace it with the 950. In the meantime I have something to hold me over. Probably not the most cost effective route, but that's why I didn't go with the 4802, figured I'd lose more driving that one off the lot

Does anyone know if/when Lexicon will be releasing DPL II and/or DTS-ES discrete for the DC-1/DC-2/MC-1?

My ass is bright red from all the kicking I've been doing to myself for passing up an awesome deal on a used MC-1 at a local dealer here in Chicago while I was waiting for the 950. He was going to sell me a loaded MC-1 (v4.0 DD, DTS, EX...) for $1750.

Now I'm thinking about selling off my amps and buying a Pioneer Elite VSX-49TX.

Maybe we can all band together and persuade Lexicon to give us a volume discount on the MC-12.

Is it ready yet?

Couldn't hold out any longer, had no back up and ran out of dealers to demo from LOL..so got the Anthem AVM20 yesterday

the avm20 is really impressive, but the number of digital inputs is disappointing compared to the 950 (3 vs 6).

Just followed the link, there's a back panel drawing. I can see a total of 11 Digital Inputs, 7 coaxial, 3 optical and 1 AES/EBU on XLR, that's a lot more than the outlaw IHMO.

you're right... i don't use drug so its gotta be sugar. i am not sure where i read it though. thanks for the message. now i don't know anymore. i read the two reviews at audioreview.com and they gave it very nice rating.

Another Monday to pass with no news update ?? I would rather hear a March ship date than nothing at this point.

It's been nearly a month now, without even any NEWS. I'm one of the first people on the 950 waiting list, and I haven't heard anything yet, either, which means at the very least that they're going to slip the end of January release date... This is rapidly moving from annoying to infuriating. What's the delay because of now? Are they still trying to fix that DD dropout bug? Did they fix that and find another bug? Is the plant in Malaysia not producing quality boards? What?

if they dont start calling by the end of this week, i think i will go with another pre/pro. the anthem avm20 has started to look good.
