Peter,

I applaud Outlaw's efforts at design and operation simplicity, since the Marantz processor represents overkill for my system. However, I would like to suggest the following from my experience with the 975 processor. I would drop some of the older technology such as composite and component jacks in favor of including 7.1 analog ch jacks for use with DSD rather than PCM as well as HDMI of course. A processor ranging in the $1K range is what I am driving at.
