I don't believe the Outlaw Atmos/Dts:X pre pro is behind any eight ball. Let's remember there's still some avr's & pre pros out there that still haven't gotten their DTS:X firmware download. I'm really curious what Outlaw has cooking because most of the Atmos/Dts:X pre pros out there are basically avr's minus the amp section, while the Outlaw was designed strictly as a preamp. Plus, I understand the upmixers are really good, but there's not exactly a ton of content in the immersive audio formats so far.

While I understand the whole "We're waiting for software, it's out of our control" thing, at this point the hardware of the new pre/pro should be etched in stone. I'd like to know some basics like: what type of room correction (if any...), how many HDMI inputs/outputs, what kind of DAC's, etc. I sure hope an update is on it's way soon.
