Tomtuttle and Grunt,
Thanks for the info on the Emotiva preamp/processor! Not an easy task to design and buiild a pre/pro - ask Outlaw Audio they had to cancel the one they were planning based on the Newcastle R-972.

a401classic,
I had pre-ordered one and at the time mine was available they honestly informed me that there was a bug which could be fixed with a firmare update down the road. They offer me the option to get it then or they would contact me again when it would be resolved. I have not heard back from them yet.
