A width of 15.8" would be highly unusual. I just checked and all current and recently-retired Outlaw pre/pros, amps and receivers measure between 17" and 17.4" wide, which is in line with industry standards.

Thats what it measures out to be for me. 15 3/4 inches would be close enough.

If we don't use the guessing SWAG method, then you can probably bet that all of the pre-pros will be the same width as the amps (17.2 in) so they match pretty well.

Just saw pics of 978, no usb and no ethernet = no future upgradability once firmware is set?

Troy There is a USB port hidden on the front of the 978.

Troy Front USB port allows for firmware updates. I think it was described in an early newsletter as being similar to the USB update process found on OPPO's disc players (which is very easy).

I'm surprised I didn't catch the lack of RS-232 support sooner. It's not a show stopper but I'm a little disappointed since the 990 had it, and it would have been nice for control via my home automation system (Homeseer). Given an estimated price for the 978 in the 1K range, one would think RS-232 would be included. Having said this, I can't fault Outlaw too much for its omission, as few people own HA systems to leverage the interface.

Most every upscale processor I have seen comes with Ethernet - why in the world would they not include this? I currently don't have anything with a network port besides my Squezebox Touch & digital Sever but it's very nice to be able to remotely manage the device through a browser.
I recall Outlaw saying there were other products out there better suited for Network conectivity, but I have no idea what they are talking about - anyone???
