The 8801 seems a very well made pre-pro. Much of the "software" seems to be borrowed from the Denon-AVR4520ci but it gets a nicer build quality.

The features of many pre-pros seem to have stalled out a bit and maybe that gives Outlaw a "window" to get a manufacturing partner to pick up where other projects got shot down but is also makes one wonder what sorts of 4K video changes maybe in the pipeline...
