If it's working why bother?  The vast majority of people that post here are only complaining about the issues they are having. Those that are happy with their units don't even bother to post. Are waiting for something bad to happen? |

Are waiting for something bad to happen? Or maybe they are pushing the unit to it's limits (and discovering what those limits are) so that they can make an informed decision about spending 700+ dollars. They might not want to use all the features now, but wouldn't you want to know if it's going to break when you add that new projector/HTPC/etc... in 6 months. I call it due diligence. |

Besides, the OP is Norwegian, meaning he has just paid more than $1000 for the unit (including the FedEx freight and the Norwegian VAT), with little option to return it if it doesn't work out, and the only viable exit is to turn around and sell it locally. I think it is fair that he wants to know whether or not his investment is sound.

Well......due diligence is searching, right? If it's such a BIG investment and you want to know if it is'"sound" don't you have to search,invest some time doing that due "diligence"? Or is diligence become something someone else does for ya? Well.....by todays standards I guess it is........

Yeah, well, not necessarily related to this thread, but that has irked me many times as well; that some people post the most inane questions that they could easily have found the answers to had they just bothered to read the manual or do some searching. It gets even worse when they claim the equipment must be faulty, refuse to take the advise they're given, or repeatedly demand answers, i.e. expect that others go to great lengths to explain in detail what they themselves are too lazy or dumb to investigate. I guess my kind of reaction is what prompted the creation of the following site: link Edit: In this case, and to the OP's defense, this site is not the easiest to search, nor is the UMC-1 manual that comprehensive (yet?). |

I do not like to search this or other forums, just looking for bad things about something I allready bought Is there an update coming soon? Me I don't know much about the UMC-1, but here in Canada where I live, when I shop for a car I do some researching first, then if something comes along the way that don't seems right, I do more research, but I shouldn't in the first place cause my original research did bring me to purchase that car in the first place. ...And if the car after my research seems to be running smoothly, I just enjoy the ride. Just sayin'.  |

Or is diligence become something someone else does for ya? Well.....by todays standards I guess it is........ Well, yes it is searching, and yes you should have to put some effort into it. However, I think that the OP has to be given a little slack as 1) the search capability of this forum is a complete joke 2) English appears to not be their native language 3) wading through many threads, being a non-native speaker, is a daunting task. p.s. thanks for making the underhanded, condescending remark about BIG investments. Maybe for you 700 bucks is not a big deal, but it may be for other people. |

I think it's GREAT that you gave someone on this board some slack.......This ain't food and shelter, it's a prepro, if you don't have the money WHY would you even look at a prepro?

SOME people deserve a break. It's not about having the money, it's about not wasting it (not that the UMC is in any way a waste). Everybody has different levels of discretionary income. Nobody's talking about taking food off the table. |

I think I've espoused the *exact* same sentiment on this board before...however...I think it's fair to say, some people change their pre/pro / receiver like a regular person changes underwear...whereas others, maybe they can *afford* a pre/pro, but they have to make the purchase count, save up for it, make payments, work OT, spend their bonus, whatever. Of course, that leads us right back to "due diligence", but I thought I'd throw it out there. |

I do not like to search this or other forums, just looking for bad things about something I allready bought Is there an update coming soon? :PMy question could have been a little more precise ::)sorry. Now that I am here, I want to say that I am very satified with both the xpa2 and UMC-1. I have installed the update v6.beta1,2, and 3. I ended up with beta2 since the ambience test failed me un beta3. I have also used two different computers for the job. The one with windows 7 could never "find" my umc-1, but the "old one" with XP did the job. Everything is working fine as long as I don`t think too much and just do the EQ-job myself. But what do I miss when I do the EQ myself? I manually put in the X-over, use a radioshack. And I have read about the the different issues with the lfe etc... Am I missing somthing when I only use beta 2? Somthing important? Just wondering, save you precious time if you only want to set me straight?  edit:  |
