I find trying to cram in video processors and xm tuners, I pod connections, and networking capabilities a little overkill. I'm not saying I wouldn't like to have all of that, just not at the expense of true core componentry, like the best dac's, op amps, transformers, chassis, xlr's and a decent array of the latest hdmi connections.

Most all of that other stuff can be added on through external devices that do it better anyways. Outlaw waiting to come out with hdmi connections that are proven to do it all is the best thing that they can do for them and us the consumers. Also spending time on the things we can't add on ourselves is more beneficial, like nameable inputs, easily navigated menu's, dimmable displays, crossovers and bass management are what us true audiophiles are REALLY after.
