The article says it will ship in 2017 nothing about December. Where did we get that?

It is pretty clear from JDB posting history that they've lost faith in Outlaw. It is unfortunate.

I can't say that such a stance is baseless given the rather disappointing hurdles that have killed off previous efforts of Outlaw to produce another top notch Pre-Pro. The news from Outlaw has been consistent: the firm remains committed to delivering products that are a good value and serve unmet segments of the audio marketplace. That is a very difficult task that falls squarely at the intersection of shifting technology, uncertain international trade, and fickle consumers. One has to be a bit of madmen to continue to run an independent business in such an environment.

I appreciate Mr. Tribeman's struggles and continue to hope for positive developments.

Oh, I'm in - just picking at it little. The 'laws are the good guys; always with them, just getting tired of the wait. (Old gearheads understand) I know making everything work and adding the frills takes time. Maybe we get the "super" 975 first in the new chassis which fills out to the Caddy at a later date as the top model for added $$$. But then again, at what is hopefully the last minutes of the game, we must trust they have the puzzle worked and it is time for the buzzer and the win.

Fair enough!

I too am involved in lots of other "hobbies" and the various factors that influence car-makers to greenlight new models or kill off projects are quite maddening. So to have there been some projects that seem perennially "just around the corner" -- http://www.caranddriver.com/news/2019-toyota-supra-spy-photos-news

There are some video games that have taken literally more than a dozen years to be delivered -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duke_Nukem_Forever#Development

The pithy checklists rarely deal with the reality of "partners" making things harder instead of easier -- https://business.tutsplus.com/articles/14-essential-tips-for-meeting-a-deadline--fsw-240

Heck, who has not driven through some interminable construction zone on their commute and wondered "when the heck is THIS is going to be done..." -- http://www.ltrc.lsu.edu/TRB_82/TRB2003-000646.pdf

Why am I still happy with my 975?
Because after 3½ years, it's still doing what it's supposed to. I still have a plasma, so 4k isn't an issue for me yet. So I'm still patiently waiting for the next pre-pro.

I'm in the same boat but with an 10+ year-old 990! The only thing that has kept my 990 in my system is its direct inputs and I have an Oppo BluRay player with direct outputs. I'm not questioning the 990's reliability, but it is soooooo out of date! I have chosen two options to replace the 990 should it fail in the near future and I hope, soon, Outlaw has a third. IMO this announcement has to include not only final product features but a date when it will be available to purchase.

Well, there you have it, folks! The 976 says, "Howdy!" That's a pretty nice looking processor. Looking forward to them heading out to new homes so we can hear what people think of their performance!

Edit:
The first question I have is does it have the same five input limitation as the 975 has?
