The original price for the cancelled processors was well above $999 so I would expect the new processor to be at least that and more. We shall see. The emo is built in the USA and may cost more because of that.

That's not gonna happen!!!!!!

What isn't gonna happen?

This.....

I would say there is no chance of the new processor coming in at less than $1500.

I am guessing $2500.00 +.

I am thinking around $2000. Less than the EMO with more codecs.

I think the 990 was priced around $1,000.00 when it was being manufactured. Outlaw is offering the Marantz AV7702 right now for $1,200 and the 975 is currently around $500-ish. Placing the new Outlaw Audio branded pre-pro about 2-3 times the 975 pricing seems about right. Pushing it out to five times that feels disproportionate; even four feels like a stretch. I'm gonna say it won't be over $1,500. I'm thinking maybe they bring it in around the $1,200 mark and then drop the Marantz. That would fit the Outlaw Audio value for money model and keep it in line with their historical offerings.

If Outlaw were to give us a few more details on it's feature set (hint hint) we could take better guesses at the price....

If I remember the original email correctly it has all the codecs for 7.2.4 atmos and now all the HDCP stuff for 4K and HDR plus a tuner and connections for 6 HDMI with two outputs including ARC. The email did not mention room correction or balanced outputs and I would anticipate a slim design similar to the 975. I would expect it to compete directly with the Emotiva XMC with a similar feature set but no graphic equalizer or Dirac RC. This is from memory as I didn't keep the email and the announcements forum is lacking that announcement.
