I'm a 90/10 music/HT enthusiast.
I am interested in specific design parameters used in the Outlaw 950 prepro that seem to deliver very high 2-channel sound quality as reported by the beta testers.
Do many receivers or prepros go this far with their product design, or is this fairly standard?
Examples include:
-Large Toroidal Transformer Power Supply For Low Noise And Excellent Dynamic Range
-18,000mfd Of Main Power Supply Capacitance
-Main Power Supply Is Physically Shielded From All Low Level Circuitry
-Multiple Locally Regulated Power Supplies In Addition To The Main Regulated Supply To Isolate Analog, Digital, And Video Processing Circuits
-All Input/Output Switching Circuitry Is Located Directly Adjacent To The Rear Panel For Minimum Cross Talk And Noise
-All Input/Output Switching Circuitry Is Electronic To Maximize Signal Purity And Further Reduce Cross Talk And Noise
-All Inputs And Outputs Are Buffered, Which Isolates Them To Reduce Potentially Detrimental Sonic Impact From Cable Variations, Differences In The Impedances, And The “Load” Presented By Connected Components
-All Video Switching/Processing Located On A Dedicated Circuit Assembly Carefully Positioned To Minimize The Possibility Of Any Audio/Video Interaction
-Digital Processing Circuitry Is Physically Isolated From Audio Processing Circuits
-4 Dual Channel High Speed 24 Bit Crystal Processors Allow Advanced Decoding Of Up To 7.1 Channels Of High Fidelity Information
-Selected Critical Components Are 1% Tolerance
-Star Grounding Reduces Hum And Ground Loops
-Optical Encoder Volume Control
