I'm pretty much sold on the 976. I'm finally upgrading from the 990 because my new projector won't work with the old DVI to HDMI connections. I'm curious if I will be able to still run a 7.1 direct with my Oppo BDP 203. That is how I have my system running now with my 990. This is how I can see 3D and 4k in my current system. Ideally I'd like to run my oppo 203 direct and also through the outlaw so I can see which sounds best. Watching Dunkirk yesterday I'm still amazed at how good my system still sounds. If anyone knows is there a 7.1 direct on the 976?

The 976 has the 7.1 analog inputs just like the 990, so yes you can run your Oppo direct into the 976.
I am running my BDP-105 via HDMI for now and it sounds great that way.
I will probably try the 7.1 direct at a later date just for comparison but it was sure nice to get rid of 8 cables for sure.
Less of a rats nest back there!

@butchgo thanks!!! That is great to hear. Somehow my 976 went from Massachusets to Oregon just to have to come to New York. Great job fedex! I'm setting up my remote. Is the Aux setting on the outlaw the 7.1 direct? On the 990 it is listed as 7.1 direct.

It is not.
I am going to assume you are going to use the HDMI out of the OPPO for video.
After you have selected which input you are going to assign to the OPPO
then you can select what audio input you wish to use.

Has anyone here used REW to adjust the EQ?
It appears that to be able to check each speaker you need an ASIO driver which I don't know how to find for the 976.
Any ideas?
Maybe Ben could chime in on this?

While we don't do support for REW, I would recommend going to their website where the manual is located under help. In addition, you may find the AVNirvana forum helpful.

The ASIO driver is not specific to the Model 976 in any way.

When I set up REW for testing, a few years ago, I was using ASIO4ALL for my Windows based machine.

@Butchgo thank you. My system is setup and I can't believe how easy it was! What a difference than my old 990 with all those digital audio cables and my HDMI to DVI cables, HDMI switcher etc. I'm loving my 976 so far.
