I have been considering either a new Rotel 1066 or an Outlaw 950 preprocessor, and I'm trying to determine which one is the best route to go.
The Outlaw users have cited several advantages for the 950, including bass management on the analog inputs (with an 80 Hz cut-off), setup through either the pre/pro display or the on-screen display, better DACs (192 kHz vs 96), a tuner, and -- of course -- a much lower price tag.
The Rotel does, of course, allow for software upgradability and is a nicer looking unit (for what it's worth). Is this it, though? Does anyone else have anything to add on the Rotel's behalf for the extra cash? If you bought the 1066 over the 950, what was your rationale for it?
