I bought a 950 off eBay about 3 months ago and have been extremely happy with the unit.
I have been looking over the specs for the new 970, but the only main difference I see is the DVI inputs.
I do not need DVI or HDMI because my Panasonic CT-37HX41 HDTV does not have those inputs (only component).

Are there any other differences that I am missing?
I downloaded the PDF Manual for the 970 and it reads basically the same as the 950 manual.

One thing that would be nice (that I whish the 950 did) was when using the CD Analog Bypass input, you have to select Bypass each time.
It would be great if you could have Bypass as the Default.
I have a Cal Audio Labs Sigma-2 DAC for CD decoding.

Thanks.
