Gonk: Any chance that the 970 replacement would be a 990 with the Cirrus Logic 49700 replacing the current Cirris Logic DSP? It would seem to be a lot more solid platform then a true 970 follow-on. Potentially it might also be cheaper because so much of the platform is being reused. It would also enable Outlaw to follow the Sherwood lead and use the same box for a 1070 receiver replacement?
