Much faster, yes. But how about a goal of 0 delay? The 990 had no such delay, like I'm sure all external DACs have not. Could you imagine the outcry if an audiophile DAC costing over a grand had such an issue?

Sorry to be persistent about this, but I find this is a major flaw, and that a solution should be found and offered!

The functionalities and sound quality of the model 976 however are really great, and Outlaw should be lauded for that!
