not to sound like an emo fan though you could wait to see what the xpr line amps will do once released..

as for digital I don't think we will benefit from it any time soon given that sony has been using a half breed system since the 1990's..

essentially I think if we went to a complete digital amp I would say we would end with power amps avr amp sections like sony which end being underpowered machines..

from what I've heard emo specs tend to be a reserve estimate of what the amps can do, unsure what outlaw states for their amps whether is reserve estimate or not...

digital amplification isn't all it has cracked up to be from what I've seen..
