- Balanced outputs

- 5 HDMI inputs (or more)

- Gigabit ethernet (reason below)

- Media library streamer! It would be so awesome if there was a GUI with an easy file/folders view of a PC on the network and stream all my music to the 998. All formats too - from .mp3 to .wav to mulit-channel flac. That would be HUGE. Maybe if licensing and costs are an issue with this, an "option" for this could be offered at a higher price to justify your costs?

Thanks Outlaw! We are still behind you. Glad you are going back to how you used to do things.
