I always thought that Outlaw was kind of ahead of the curve when it came to designing their processors.
When they released the 990 I think it was the first pre/pro that had 7.1 inputs to take advantage of things to come even though there wasn't a lot of 7.1 media out there.
The failure to deliver, I believe 2 processors, was the beginning of their slide downhill.
