Scott/Outlaws -- Thanks much for the news on the 990 successor, which many of us have been waiting for. Now how about a few hints at what we can look forward to? wink

That was quite an announcement, wasn't it? The price drop on the 990 is dramatic, too - $700 is a heck of a nice price, especially with the $200 discount on the successor factored in for folks who might be rather susceptible to upgradeitis.

I think the biggest news was the "FU" to Cirrus. Outlaw is not the only company to ditch their plans and switch to Dual TI DSPs.

The price is a bit hard to swallow though. I'm sure it's going to be one hell of a processor, but still.

And. I still have my 950 (paid $899 at the time if I remember right), I never saw a reason to upgrade to the 970 or 990, but apparently I don't get the $200 rebate. frown

Correct, the 950 doesn't get you in the running for the $200 discount...

I see the 950s are going for about $350 on Audiogon, which would help with a new pre/pro!

Ya, nothing for us dreaded 1070 owners either. With all we've went through, that's a pretty hard one to swallow.

As much as I'd like to upgrade to the 990's successor, even at $1,200 (with the discount) it's too pricey for me. I guess I will wait and see what the 970's successor is priced at and what it offers. Perhaps I'll be able to use the $200 rebate toward that.

The $200 discount was described as being good for the next generation of processors, not just the next generation of the 990, so whatever replaces the 970 (and I think it's almost guaranteed that there will be something for that niche at some point) would be eligible for it...

Gonk,
My bad for the misleading last sentence. I know that the $200 discount is applicable to any next generation processor....I may exercise the discount if the 970 replacement's price is affordable (to me) and the feature set justifies the upgrade.
