An Onkyo Pro 885 replaced my Outlaw 950. Problem is, all my sources are now digital, so I can't really comment on its analog performance. I will say after having spent a lot of time on the dedicated threads at AVS, that no one seems to be singing the praises of the analog section, so if that is important to you, I would recommend holding off until you can get meaningful comparisons.
What I can tell you - with digital sources, the 885 is great. I am running a PS3 into it for DVD, BD, CD and SACD, all over HDMI. Could not be happier with the performance here, using the direct or pure mode for audio only material, and the audyssey eq'ed settings for surround sound HT stuff.
On the video front, the problem there is it is not configurable by input. So while I saw a worthwhile improvement in the quality of my DishNetwork feed using it, I did not want it touching my BD and DVD video as the PS3 does a nice job with those, while the Reon setup in the Onkyo cannot be trusted to leave signals unmolested, excepting 1080p24 which it does not process. Result, I bypass the video processing completely at present.
