Lots of info about XT32 vs XT in the Audyssey thread at AVS. I'm not convinced XT32 is the quantum improvement over XT that a lot of the fanboys there feel it is, but I do believe it's a fundamental and significant if incremental improvement over XT.

Not just about the higher resolution of XT32's filters, but also how they are applied across the audio spectrum.


On paper, it looks nice. But on paper 512x oversampling looks better than 4x oversampling. Can you or I hear a difference? That's where my skepticism lies. At the end of the day, none of this matters for Outlaw. The 978 is going to be DOA due to a lack of features, not because of the sound quality or the delivery date.

Best,
