The original 990 replacement processor was priced at $1500 or so but it never made it to production. With all the new tech and licenses I would expect $2000 to be where they price it at. Emotiva is their direct competitor and the XMC-1 is very similar in feature set (although we do not know what room correction if any the Outlaw will use). The XMC-1 is priced at $2499 and has a graphic equalizer and Dirac room correction standard. Without further word from Outlaw we won't know the price range or even its designated name/number of their new pre-pro.
