I've had my trusty 950 as the core of my system for the past five years. My upgrade plans are a bit ahead of Outlaw's current offerings, however, and I'm considering retiring my 950 in favor of one of the new, inexpensive HDMI receivers as a short term solution until the new Outlaw HDMI processor hits the market.

Several people have told me that they feel digital technology has advanced enough over the past five years that I wouldn't notice any drop off in audio quality with one of these new receivers vs. my Outlaw 950, and I'd be able to take advantage of the higher rez formats to boot.

Do any of you have experience with this? Anyone using one of the newer receivers and can compare the sound quality to the older Outlaw gear?

Thanks!
