okay as most of you as well as i see it has been quiet in here .. probably due to the fact all of us are running all our favorite dvd and cd tracks through this wonderful piece of machinery.. i (who was quite the skeptic)have found that the 2 channel in bypass and upsample has really impressed me .. i havent had a prepro with this good of 2 channel.. even true 2 channel preamps have thier hands full ... dvd well yes as some say it doesnt get loud fast .. well i like that .. i have noticed many effects come out as volume increases.. it still gets to maximum listening levels .. who cares if its dial goes way past where is loud enough for you .. one feature i really like is night mode.. i have 2 young children and when the go to bed i hit max night mode and wow still sounds great and not bother kids.. all in all it is a hit in my home .. oh and you know those systems that as volume gets higher so does the (clutter) sound .. loss of imaging... this guy holds on strong.. a concert in my living room..

anyhow .. way to go outlaw .. thanks scott!!!
