When this processor hits the market, and after some reviews and customer comments, I'll probably pick one up. I just hope that it sounds good enough to put my current processor into retirement. After having spent a few months with the 950, there were a few quirks that I hope get changed with the 976. First and foremost for me is input control and display. I hope that the 976 has the ability to rename inputs via the setup menu and have it displayed in the front window.

If there's to be beta testing, I'd be willing to take part. Bottom line, I can wait.
