Things have changed since the Model 978 was first announced; I suspect that the lack of a network connection will be a sore spot for many.
Agreed. And as this extended release delay drags on, their feature set is only going to look even more "stale" when compared to competing equipment in the same price range. Time is not Outlaw's friend in the fast moving world of home theater processors. By comparison, the 990 was a bit ahead of the curve at the time of its release, but it hasn't been able to remain feature competitive now that we're **SEVEN** years into its product life cycle pending the always over the horizon release of its successor.
It might turn out to be more financially prudent for them to simply concede the race and continue selling processors from other companies while they focus on gear where they can differentiate themselves.
