This is a great current preamp/processor. If you aren’t familiar with Outlaw, well, you should be. They have built their reputation on top performance gear at affordable prices. They have excellent build quality coupled with best in class performance. I just picked this one up when I upgraded my TV to 4k. My old Marantz wouldn’t pass thru the 4k. I found it to be easy to connect up and provided an excellent video and musical experience. Alas, my lo-tech significant other didn’t appreciate the change —“Which button do I press?” “Why did we need to change anything?” As you might imagine, the recitation of the specs on both the TV and this processor did little to salve the pain of change for her. I now have a current Marantz processor that looks and acts like the old one. It’s a shame if this unit doesn’t get put into use. Offering it up here. It includes everything it came with (Audyssey mic, power cord, IR repeaters, 2 remote controls). I also purchased the Bluetooth antenna so you can stream from your phone or other compatible devices. Happy to answer any questions. From the manufacturer: Focusing on sound and video quality, ease of use, and expanded connectivity, the Model 976 has what the Outlaw customer expects: a true, no compromise, "best in class" product. The Model 976 offers both balanced and conventional outputs in a 7.2 configuration fed by high quality DACs. The analog audio inputs stay analog through and through to maintain signal purity. As was the case with the Model 975, we've included a robust power supply with a compact torroidal transformer. Between the pure analog 7.1 ch inputs, support for 4K and HDR, the Model 976 allows us to deliver a new, advanced product to those who want the benefits of the latest in HDMI (2017), but who are unable or unwilling to install an 11-channel speaker system. If you're looking for a 7.2 channel pre-pro that focuses on suberb sound quality, your search ends here!
