I think a dvd audio/sacd/dvd video player is in order, this would solve all of my problems.

I'm guessing (hoping for, actually) a component video switch.

The Model 200 will be a progressive-scan DVD player.

I wish I could recant my first guess of a DVD player now that I know the "sounds great" part. It is obvious that main thing missing from the Outlaw line up is a Karaoke machine.
After all, everybody wants to hear their drunk friends, sing off-key while slurring and mangling lyrics, in clean, clear, and uncolored sound.

Serious - A single disc CD player. Could play SACD or DVD-A but more than likely will be a fantastic sounding cd player.
Humorous - Your deluxe model Model T. This baby has it all. AM, bicycle horn, crank start, and leather seating. Not only do you get all that extra stuff, but today only you can get the Flux Capacitor included for FREE! Through extensive research it was determined that Doc Brown was off in his calculations. Turns out time travel can be done in not 88 MPH. Not even 78 MPH. The time barrier can be breached at 8.8 MPH! (Note: Mr. Fusion not included.)

It is a replacement for the 1050. Which will include DPLII DTS-ES and Dolby-EX. Or it is some kind of new birth control.

My guess (though I'm not the least bit confident about it)...
An A/V harddrive recorder. Tivo-like Video and 128kMP3-perfect CD copyMLP Audio storage.
This would be within Outlaw's reach, original, and worth the 'surprise' of a contest. A hard drive in a small box, simple display, remote and good user interface and you'd have a slick little A/V addition.
It's def. something stereo.
A 2 chan amp would be called the 720 or 725 I think, even though I did really want to guess this (as have most people here). Unless the model 200 is not the final name then it ain't an amp I think. Another amp as the 'suprise' would seem to be a let down though. Wow, another amp. Whoopee. Not worth all the 'secret' IMO.
Some have guessed digital amp. Hmmm... I've been hounding Outlaw to do this for years.
Personally I'd love for them to do this, but I think it would kill their own monster-sized solid state line-up, which is a bulk of their few products, so I don't see this happening for a while yet... if ever, and then only as a full line of multichan amps replacing thier solid state.
Speaker cables seem like a good guess, but then Outlaw doesn't name their cables with model numbers. Again.. is this a code or the real model number?
Outlaw has stated that they're not doing a DVD player or DLP projector any time soon and the market seems to have made no changes that would change Outlaw's mind, so I have to believe it ain't either of these.
A CD player doesn't seem like Outlaw at all either. Not when even most high end CD players are now DVD/CD players. An actual 'only CD' player is an outdated rare product now-a-days, and not Outlaw.
With Outlaw's ties to Atlantic Tech. I say no way to speakers. If Outlaw would get into speakers they'd release a full surround sound package and not a pair of mains alone. This is not Outlaw's bag.
I can't see Outlaw getting into any tubed based systems either.
The internet radio was on hold, but IF it's now 'off hold' this looks like the good guess since we all know they actually finished this product, and probably hate to just dump the idea.
The timing seems right for a return. And the system would be stereo so the 2 in 200 works with Outlaw's use of model numbers usually having some channel meaning.
Or could this be a re-working of this idea and it's a sat. instead of internet radio rec. now (plus hard drive?).
Oh well.. I already guessed I guess. Too late.
If I'm wrong, maybe some of my thoughts might help others guess right?

My guess is that it's a headphone amp of some form. That's probably because I've been doing mostly headphone listening and am on the brink of ordering a new set of headphones.

Since Outlaw is not doing product trade-in, like 750 for 770, I would have to go along with a 2-channel amp to make the 750 owners enjoy the 7.1 capability of their 950's.
The humorous guess will be for a hiss zapper, this will zap the hiss from 950 and convert it to shhh.
