nfaguys Desperado Registered: 04/09/05 Posts: 500 Loc: Maine	Hopefully manufacturers will not delete legacy connections, as they are very convenient for a multitude of equipment, zones, secondary devices etc. If they do it would be nice to have inexpensive conversion devices for those of us with legacy (i.e. "ancient" ? ) equipment out there. _________________________ Living Room: 5.1 Surround and 4channel inline room 990/7700/6-KEF-107s/LFM1 x 2/ SMS Awaiting Trinnov Millenium dts decoder;Digital Director Players: Tascam CD01U/SonyCX455 x 3/DV955/BDP83 Old Sony 60" SXRD TV Zone 2 (also liv-Room: listening to music while Mrs watches TV): Crown SL2 preamp/D40 Amp/Stax Headphones My "Man-cave": 4 channel-only inline room.

Gonk is probably right. But the way the 990 is set up with the ability to assign digital and still have composite/analog affords great flexiblity. It's nice to have this for all inputs. OTOH if mfrs were to eliminate many there is still a work-around by "outboarding" with a legacy-type switcher such as this one: ..which I do use for some things. So as long as we have something to I/O to and from we'll (I'll) be ok. Also patchbays, but as discussed in previous posts not for everybody. And...gotta have an understanding wife. _________________________ Living Room: 5.1 Surround and 4channel inline room 990/7700/6-KEF-107s/LFM1 x 2/ SMS Awaiting Trinnov Millenium dts decoder;Digital Director Players: Tascam CD01U/SonyCX455 x 3/DV955/BDP83 Old Sony 60" SXRD TV Zone 2 (also liv-Room: listening to music while Mrs watches TV): Crown SL2 preamp/D40 Amp/Stax Headphones My "Man-cave": 4 channel-only inline room.

nfaguys Desperado Registered: 04/09/05 Posts: 500 Loc: Maine	I just saw one of these SB-v3000's on ebay. Way too much $$ for it, though there aren't many out there for sale. So I guess they command a premium. Still, there are other. Also most don't need matrix switching. Seems to me monoprice had something useable. _________________________ Living Room: 5.1 Surround and 4channel inline room 990/7700/6-KEF-107s/LFM1 x 2/ SMS Awaiting Trinnov Millenium dts decoder;Digital Director Players: Tascam CD01U/SonyCX455 x 3/DV955/BDP83 Old Sony 60" SXRD TV Zone 2 (also liv-Room: listening to music while Mrs watches TV): Crown SL2 preamp/D40 Amp/Stax Headphones My "Man-cave": 4 channel-only inline room.

xcortes Deputy Gunslinger Registered: 11/15/06 Posts: 14	With the current trend towards music servers an high resolution digital the 997 can't miss the train by not accepting 192k/24 bit data through the USB input (two channel). HDCD decoding would be a plus. My view is that together with the resurgence of analog the future of channel audio is this: Reference Recordings HRx And it would be fantastic if the 997 gave us the chance to get there.

Skyblazer Gunslinger Registered: 03/21/06 Posts: 255 Loc: Spokane, WA	will the new 997 be able to decode DTS MA? I hope so. I have fallen in love with movies again that have the DTS MA soundtrack. _________________________ Outlaw Audio 990 pre amp Adire Audio sub (SVS 12.2 driver) CAL Alpha tube DAC Parasound P/HP-850 2 CH pre Pioneer PL-530 TT Polk Audio SDA 2B NAD 2600A amp Danger Boy here

dvenardos Gunslinger Registered: 02/22/05 Posts: 97 Loc: Thousand Oaks, Ca	Quote: Originally posted by psyprof1: Awright enuff awreddy - I yield on the phono preamp question, though I still wish Outlaw would market a standalone version of the 2150's preamp for those of us who still want pure audio quality (and doubters are welcome to try the listening comparison I've already suggested). Add HT bypass and this would be the perfect complement to the 997. I would be in heaven.
