I got my updated 950 today as well. My original unit had a small amount of hiss with analog (CD - my only analog source). I wasn't aware of hiss under most conditions, and was somewhat reluctant to ask for a replacement. In the end though I decided to go for the upgrade. Well after much listening tonight , I am thrilled with the new unit! Gchon is right..there is a very noticeable improvement in noise floor. Hiss is now gone unless I put my ear right up to the speaker. As far as I can tell the problem is fixed. I have to give the Outlaws credit for taking the time to get it right (at no small expense). For those people still waiting..hang in there! All I can say is it was worth the wait.
