Other than the lack of the volume being displayed what was your prary objection? One of the things I find interesting about product forums are the differences in what we prefer. For me I would prefer the display could be shut off during operation like the OPPO.

I find the blue of the power button to be annoying. If I hear sound it is a fair bet the Outlaw is turned on, I do not need the Blue light cutting through my bifocal lile a laser to remind me. I miss the soft Red power on indicators.
