it is what it is, wait, or don't, but the complaining won't change the bang for the buck factor and shouldn't....... We have had patience for many years and if everyone listened to your advice then outlaw would have even fewer customers. What I asked for is not too much to ask for and I think it would help build customer relations. I have every right to complain and voice my opinion, if you don't like it then you don't have to come visit the thread.

I waited for the 997 to come out and when it missed its predicted release dates with no news, I chose to purchase the Onkyo PR-SC886 from Outlaw. I can honestly say that I would have never purchased the Onkyo from another online retailer. I trust Outlaw to deal fairly and honestly. When they miss a deadline they at least offer something else of very high quality. They have to do something to keep the lights on. In a few years I may be in the market for a new processor which supports 3D (if they ever work out the glasses thing) and then I will look to Outlaw for my processor. Maybe the 998 will be out by then and they'll have another customer loyalty bonus. Most of the posters on this site are waiting for the 978 to appear and have been very patient over the last 3+ years. As long as we keep it civil, I would expect everyone to prod Outlaw for updates as often as possible. When they see a lot of interest in an update, they tend to throw us a bone. PeterT, are you listening?

I can see how many are not happy that the 978 has not been released. I'm sure Outlaw is more unhappy with the delay than anyone. But I'd rather see the 978 delayed than see what has happened with Emotiva's UMC-1. The UMC-1 has been on the market for close to two years and it is still having issues. I look forward to the release of the 978 as it looks to be the prepro to replace my Onkyo 886. But I'm in no rush as the 886 is working and sounding just fine. But XT32 and the Sabre DACs are a calling . Bill

I think it's safe to say that no matter how much beta testing is done there is likely to be issues that crop up after the release of the 978. I hope they are few and minor but most devices as complex as an AV processor will have issues, no matter who manufactures them. I remember swapping chips in my 950, something I never had to do with any of my other processors, including Emotiva.

Yeah it is very unlikely that every contingency has been ironed out but if the users are happy, Outlaw will have accomplished a good thing.

Made by the same people who make the Marantz stuff. I'm trying to hold out for gear that's not made in China. Best,
