Your response is succinct and hits my concerns with accuaracy. I have been too much a dedicated analog guy over the years and only in the last year have realized just how far behind the curve I am.So, my plan is to get an Outlaw 950. I am not a fan of receivers, although I guess they have improved in the last few years. I am willing to spend a few bucks to get movie sound satisfaction and assume the Outlaw 950 might be a step up from a receiver.
My next concern is whether to get the Outlaw or go to a Rotel 1068. The Rotel costs almost double the Outlaw 950 and the nearest dealer is 90 miles away. Is the Rotel worth the extra cost and inconvenience? CD playback sound is not a great concern. So many choices, so little time. . . .
Thanks again for your help.

Follow Ups:
You can find some reviews of each processor on the web. If you definitely need a processor, you might want to take a look at the new Sherwood Newcastle processor (P-965). It goes for about the same price as the Rotel and there are comparisons available at AVS Forum. I believe there is a dedicated thread comparing these two processors.I am not familiar with any of them (Outlaw, Rotel, Sherwood), as far actual listening goes, so sound-wise it's your decision. Here's a link to the Amps, Receivers and Processors part of AVS forum. You may have to use the Search function to get to the comparison threads:
Actually I have already read about all the reviews of all the products you mentioned, plus a lot of very favorable comments about the Outlaw 950.My main concern was dialog clarity and would it improve if the movie were decoded with DD or DTS instead of with my old DPL. You and others have convinced that digital is the way to go.
So, the Outlaw is convenient (on-line ordering) and it has a 30 day no questions asked return policy. Why not give it a try?
