It is behind the eight ball, because it is 18 months late and it doesn't even have a name/number yet. The original announcement in mid 2014 looked pretty good but...everyone else has come out with setups for 7.1.4 and the Phoenix was slated as 5.1.2 with no announced room correction. Outlaw hasn't given out any info, so unless they have redesigned it, it won't be the groundbreaking piece of gear we were expecting. Depending on the $$$ it may not be competitive with the rest of the market. UHD TV and HDR displays require SOTA hardware and firmware and the industry may just be moving too fast for smaller companies to keep up.
