Actually, there is a receiver in its past - the 990 is built for Outlaw by Etronics and is based on their Sherwood P-965/R-965 platform. The P-965 is similar to the 990 but with no DVI switching, no balanced outputs, and different software. The R-965 is the same as the P-965 but with seven channels of amplification tucked inside on the left and right sides.
