Damn right, jam!
I'm going to have to go ahead and disagree with Ritz2. Lack of features won't kill the 978. If you want lots of features, buy an AVR. If you want feature overload, buy a high-end AVR or pre/pro. All along, since Outlaw's refocus from 998 to 978, the product has been about world-class SQ rather than having as many "features" as possible. I would venture to say that the majority of us waiting for the 978 are looking forward to SQ and a well-implemented complimentary feature set.
