I'm pretty sure the double bass of the 990's bypass mode is a result of the L and R's bass being summed and sent to the subwoofer. I have "small" speakers that don't go much below 80Hz and the bass is significantly louder in bypass mode. I imagine if someone was using full range speakers up front the bass would be even more pronounced as they would produce bass as well. In that case it might make sense to turn off the sub when in bypass mode.
If the 950's DSP is active for the sub I imagine it avoided doubling the bass. If that scheme was used in the 978 it would be an improvement over the 990's bypass mode. Maybe a 950 owner that can confirm its bypass operation.

I use pretty good sized main speakers with active woofers. I have them set to small, crossed at 60hz and have never experienced noticable bass increase from the 990 in bypass mode.

Just thought I would keep a current confirmed feature list for the 978 so it is easy to find. If I missed something, let me know and I'll add it...
- 5 Fast Switching HDMI 1.4a inputs with 3D capability and audio return - 2 HDMI 1.4a Outputs - Balanced and unbalanced amplifier outputs - Dual sub capability - Audyssey MultEq XT32 - “State-of-the-Art” DACs on all channels - Phono Preamp Input - USB Firmware updates - Audyssey Volume - Anchor Bay Video Processing - No network connectivity Would be nice to see a product page for the 978 like this on the "products" section of the web site that is updated with the current info. There was one for the 997 that is now shown under the "Discontinued items" section. We've got pictures and we've got some limited (though updated) specs, it would be nice to have it all in one place. Just a thought.

This link was included with the "update" e-mail many of us received on Friday, although it hasn't yet been added under the "products" tab.

Thanks. I missed that. That's what I was looking for.
But you still can't find it on the "products" section of the web site. I'd hate to have to constantly go find my email any time I want to refresh my memory on the specs.

Forgive me if it has already been mentioned, but will the 978 support native DSD decoding? The ESS DACs can handle this, but I wonder if Outlaw is planning on including this feature. This (along with the DACs) would make it an automatic purchase for me. I was hoping Emotiva would add this feature, but it is not going to happen in their current lineup.

Wow. This place seems dead. I guess everyone is waiting.

Yep, there's nothing to discuss - it's all been hashed and rehashed. We're just leaning on the bar here at the saloon, waitin' for Marshall Peter to swager in with the release date. I think I'll have another beer and tequila...
