Emotiva Management: Your loyal customers have been kept in the dark regarding the XMC-1 far too long. Bottom line: either announce the details and availability or lose business. Your competition is not following your business practices (of making promises and not keeping them) and standing still. www.outlawaudio.com/products/M978.htmlBest regards,

Now this is funny. ;D Like Outlaw hasn't dragged their feet on their new processor either. You can post your words verbatim on their forums and just switch Emotiva and Outlaw. I'm sure your trolling would get the same response. No wait, you might actually get banned there with a demand like this.

Was on the phone with Emotiva today.
Asked about the XMC availability.
"On slate to be available at the end of the year in time for the hollidays."

Correct me if I'm wrong but the last official update on the 978 was posted Jan 2011 "the release date is now targeted for late in the first half of this year"

If the time table of the above quote is true, then everything should be set in stone by now and a detailed feature list and form factor should be available. The silence is (still) deafening.

On July 4th Big Dan posted:
XMC-1 - As has been reported by us, the unit is well underway with the latest gen. Cirrus decoder solution and full HDMI v1.4 video signal management with Audio Return Channel capability. Features and goodies as previously shown.
I refer you to the "as previously shown" comment.

Because life revolves around a new processor. The way people act you would think it a matter of life rand death.
If I waited this long to find out if I had cancer I could see the concern, but it a piece of home entertainment gear! Give it a rest.
It will be ready when it's ready. I have more important things to stress over.

...No wait, you might actually get banned there with a demand like this. ... And no one has ever been banned, suspended, or called a troll over here, right? Facts indicate otherwise. Why do people take it as a personal offence when one company or another says something you don't like? You'd think we were trying to raise the debt limit or something... Let's all take a deep breath, view the news and move on.

The Outlaw Audio Model 978 link is up but the latest e-mail update is not on that page. I bet it is in their Saloon.
Regarding the XMC-1. Emotiva will share updates with us when they are ready to. To me silence is just fine. It means they have their heads down and are working on things.
Just enjoy your current gear till either the Outlaw 978 or XMC-1 comes out. Is it that hard to do? If not there are other alternative pre/pros out there for you to buy if you can't wait for the latest and greatest.

Let's all take a deep breath, view the news and move on. You are correct, but the OP really got himself into this with his choice of examples. Outlaw? lol They now sell the AV7005 since their processor is nowhere in sight. Just try and post that over there and tell me how long you last. We are way more tolerant here. (personally sometimes too tolerant) Do I want to see more information on the XMC? Sure, everyone here does, and I think all of the old information is now not accurate and should be removed to avoid confusion.

Bootman:
Sorry, but I have to disgaree. Look over at Outlaw and you'll see that the natives are restless, there, as well. No one seems to be banned. What basis do you have for your statement.
The reality is that if you post a proper message here or there it should, and usually DOES stay posted. Why don't you put a comment there that is in line with common courtesy, yet critical, and see if you get banned. You can't make a comment like you have without facts.
I would think that if "big" Dan posted something here everyone would just gush about how great things are regardless of the message. Not to come to their defense, beacause they ARE late (as is the XMC), but for crying out loud, Outlaw heard questions, answered them and that's that. Did I miss what was wrong with that?
We all know that people have been banned or had their posting rights suspended here. When it happens folks here rally to the cause of "it's Emo's Board and they can do what they want". Presuming that Outlaw was to take the same approach, why wouldn't a similar rule apply?
Can't help but feel that the skin is a bit thin around here when you don't toe the party line. I don't feel the "tolerence" you refer to as past fun here has shown.
To each their own. You're not wrong for asking for XMC details. BOTH, as you say, are way late.
Gee, will I get banned HERE for this?

It would be appreciated by many including myself if Emo did come out and post all the features and some photos for no other reason than to reinvigorate enthusiasm in the XMC-1.
I will be doing my best to get my preorder in as early as I can. As happy as I am with the UMC-1 I want one.
Dave.
