First Post!
I recently purchased a 970 and use it as a 2 channel preamp only(plus sub). I love it. it takes digital coaxial line out of my PC and rocks the house. i also have a tv hooked up to it but havent stopped jamming out long enought to even watch it! it does have some delay locking on to the signal when i first hit play but has no issues there after.
Im running a Outlaw 970> Adcom GFA-145> Martin Logan Preface Loud speakers + Paradigm PS1200 modified subwoofer. my house has never been the same.
