Stephen B Gunslinger Registered: 01/15/15 Posts: 214 Loc: East Texas	Based on what was used in the 976 I would expect to see the DACs in the RR-2160 to be updated over your RR-2150. I scanned the manual and see under the section covering USB connectivity a PC can be connected via USB to the 2160 for PC's without sound cards or containing sub standard/outdated cards. Based on those listed specs the DAC's should be up to current standards.

Helson Gunslinger Registered: 03/21/12 Posts: 283 Loc: USA	From pg 25 of the manual, "The PC USB input allows the RR 2160 to act as an external sound card for a PC or Mac. With this input, any file format supported by the computer is supported, with bit depth and sampling rates up to 24bit/192kHz" I like the idea of the internet radio. I may have to consider two channel now. _________________________ Main HT <> 976 <> 7200 <> Ultra-X12 <> sapphire ST2 mkII RF/LF <> sapphire SC center sapphire ST2 mkII SBR/SBL <> sapphire SS SR/SL <> Verizon/DVR <> Vizio M70Q7 <> Oppo UDP-203 <> Amazon 4k Fire TV

Helson Gunslinger Registered: 03/21/12 Posts: 283 Loc: USA	From the announcement..."with both front and rear-panel USB inputs. They feed Burr-Brown PCM DACs with native 192/24 capability." _________________________ Main HT <> 976 <> 7200 <> Ultra-X12 <> sapphire ST2 mkII RF/LF <> sapphire SC center sapphire ST2 mkII SBR/SBL <> sapphire SS SR/SL <> Verizon/DVR <> Vizio M70Q7 <> Oppo UDP-203 <> Amazon 4k Fire TV

I am a proponent that most dacs today sound the same but the the 2150 usb was limited - would not integrate with a smart phone and limited to 16/48. However, it is over 10 years old. With this new feature set, not sure any 2 channel integrated can touch the 2160 at this price point.

Retep Gunslinger Registered: 01/19/06 Posts: 266 Loc: Tauranga, New Zealand	This is exactly what I need and want for my office. I am just bummed it's 120V, 60Hz only. I wish Outlaw used some switchable power supplies.

XenonMan Desperado Registered: 04/08/08 Posts: 2676 Loc: Columbus,North Carolina	Outlaw has in the past made the 230V/50hz version of the 2150 in very limited quantities. Maybe they will do the same for the 2160. _________________________ Music system Model 990/7500/Magnepan 1.6 QRs/Technics SL1200 MK2/Aperion S-12 Subwoofer/OWA3/Sony NS75H DVD APC H15 Power Conditioner TV System Large Advent Loudspeakers/ Polk center/Monoprice surrounds/Panasonic Viera 42 inch/Onkyo HT-RC260/Sony BDP S590/Directv Home Theater System Onkyo PR-SC886/Outlaw 7125 Klipsch RF-82 L/R,RC-62 center, RB-35 SR/SL, BENQ HT1075, Outlaw LFM1-EX/OPPO BDP-83/Directv Harmony ONE Blue Jeans and Monoprice interconnects APC H15 Power Conditioner

EEman Desperado Registered: 11/11/09 Posts: 514 Loc: Canton, MI	If you look at the rear panel the warnings are in English, German and French but not Spanish. Why would they do this unless there was some European content planned? Also, does anyone know why the 2160 needs 2 GBytes of FLASH memory? That seems like a lot to me... _________________________ 975/7075/SMS-1 Aperion Verus Grand Towers & Bookshelves, Verus Forte Center, Infinity Surrounds, Ultra-X12 Oppo BDP-203, XBOX360, Xbox One LG 65" OLED RR2150 w/Klipsch SCR-2
