It could take quite a bit of patience waiting on a new Outlaw processor to be released. Then again, Outlaw usually makes some announcements in May and June, so there may be more information soon.

Correct me if I am wrong, but in round numbers, aren’t the Rotel processors between two and four times the cost of the 950? Secondly, is your need for up-conversion for the OSD only, because the sources are already component and will just be passed through? Or will you also be up-converting some sources that are not available as component?

There are some other features that the Rotels have that the 950 does not, I would just make sure I needed them before spending quite a bit more.

If the OSD is really the make-or-break issue, and the 950 suits your needs in every other way, are there any creative ways of seeing the 950’s front display or OSD that would cost less than $1K?

Just my way of thinkin’
