I won't be able to try it myself for a couple days, so was just curious if any of you guys were running your PS4 or XB1 (or whatever) through the 975? I'm particularly concerned about lag, but that's probably obvious.

Any feedback is appreciated.

We have had great feedback from customers about any input lag of the Model 975 being non-noticeable. When using the Model 975, I would be more concerned with the input lag of your display device.

Thanks Ben, that's great to know.

And thanks to you and the other Outlaws for such an exceptional job with the firmware update. I just recieved my pkg with the cable and update instructions, so my 975 is ready to go. I use an amp when I listen with headphones, but I'm still eager to check out the jack on the 975 post-update. It would be nice to have a 2nd output in case others are enjoying a film at the same time.

Great service, as always!

AJ, I haven't noticed any problems whatsoever using our PS3 with the 975. I know it's not the PS4 or XB1 that you specifically mention, but it's what I have to offer. =)

Thanks OW, that's what I was hoping to hear smile I don't know WHAT is with Vudu, but it's been my favorite streaming service since I first discovered it a couple years ago. But for whatever reason, it NEVER seems to work consistently. Doesn't matter if I'm using my Oppo player, my smart tv, the Roku, etc...it seems to just never work without buffering issues, downgrading the image, whatever. But the ONE device it works perfectly on is the PS4...so if I can hook the PS4 into the 975 via the HDMI input, and it doesn't mess up the gaming, I will be extremely happy lol

The 975 does a great job with the PS4 I run from time to time. No lag issues of any kind that I have noticed but I am not exactly a power user.

When was the latest firmware update?

Hey Stephen: I just finally got around to carrying out the firmware update that was discussed from a year or so ago. I had completely forgotten about it. http://ubb.outlawaudio.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=94312#Post94312
