Let me preface this with, this is not meant to be a hate thread.

I am in the market for a new pre/pro and amp. And actually I'm building a new system from the ground up. With all of the various technology going around, I'm trying to figure out what I need and don't need. I started looking at the many $3000 pre/pros such as Rotel RSP-1098, Arcam AVP700, Anthem AVM30, NAD M15, NAD T163 and Parasound 7100 but can't figure out why I would need these over the very reasonably priced Outlaw 990. So I wanted to see what other people had to say about the 990 that were in some of these other pre/pros out there. Thanks for the help.
