If the 990 is any indication, I think it will be worth the wait.

Oh and if balanced outputs and HDMI switching are all you want, the 990 meets those requirements.

DVI and HDMI switching are essentially the same thing.

However, if you want a preamp that can handle HDMI 1.3 audio streams and perhaps do upconversion from any video input to HDMI at 1080P, then yeah, you'll want to wait.
