Im thinking about ordering a Outlaw 990 but what about the new hdmi 1.3 sound, is it worth the wait for a pre-pro that will decode it? thanks

    Will you want to listen to HD audio? Does your HD player, or future players, have analog outputs? Do you want to listen to 7.1 or is 5.1 good enough? Would you want to use one HDMI cable or 6 analog IC's?

    Personally if I was in the market for a prepro I'd wait for HDMI 1.3 to be included.

    check out my last thread about the 990. I bought a 990 a few weeks ago and a denon 3806. i ended up keeping the denon receiver and use it as a pre pro. It is future proof also because it accepts multichannel audio over hdmi and switches 1080p video. Also, it sounds bit more dynamic than the 990.
