I might be trying the Nuforce processor as well. I am just curious. I am liking the outlaw better everyday. Sometimes I think it might get a little bright but it never hurts my ears. Usually when it is bright it hurts your ears. I think the outlaw has a up front soundstage with alot of detail, but not necessarily bright. To put things into perspective I owned so called warm equipment(Mcintosh) and it had the same characteristics as my 990. That is what speakers will do because they were Klipsch and now I have M&K.
