RAF has posted many informative and interesting subjects on this and other forums. He is correct on his support of the Outlaw's design of the 990. I would have liked the 990 to have HDMI switching with a published disclaimer stating it was for video ONLY. However, I believe that this would have led to mass confusion, many support calls and posts. My display has two HDMI inputs so I do not need video switching, so in my case DVI/HDMI is a moot point.
I would not consider a replacement for my 990 until HDMI can drop all of its Audio capablities in the Pre/Pro, and let the video continue to a display.
