I know no one knows the real release date for this product but does anyone know of a time frame for the release? I need a processor right now and would like to get the XMC-1 but I don't want to wait another year. My XPR-5 is sitting in my rack with no processor.

Nobody knows. It's "close" and "coming soon". Since you have an XPR-5, just wait for the RMC-1, it's "not too far after the XMC-1".

What's the RMC-1? Never heard of it. It's the Reference Series version of the XMC-1, with XPR-5 styling. Theres a big thread on the forum that explains tentatively what it gives you over the XMC-1.

Wow, thanks. I'll wait for that instead. It'll match my XPR-5 and XPR-2. Thanks for the info. Hopefully it doesn't take 5 years for them to release it!!!

The RMC-1 will be Emotiva's flagship "Reference Series" processor which is rumored to be an extension of the XMC-1. The RMC-1 will feature all of the what will be offered with the XMC-1, but will be fully balanced on all channels (not just L/R) and have a more advanced version of TACT. Of course, it will also feature the smokin' hot Reference Series aesthetics....

No but seriously, it's based on the same platform as the XMC-1. So, Big Dan said once the XMC-1 is done, the RMC-1 is "easy". By that he means the "base platform" is done, so they have a head start. Based on my conversation with Big Dan at Emo on the Road, I wouldn't be surprised if the RMC-1 is in prototype form at EmoFest in Sept. Please note, this is me speculating, not anything Big Dan said. It's also predicated in the XMC-1 being released this summer, at which point he can turn his attention to the RMC-1...

Given that it was reported that they won't show the XMC at the Munich show one has to think it is not ready yet. How close is it? Only Emo knows and they have clearly made the decision not to say anything until it ships. Maybe more news this week or next in a podcast.
If I had to guess it seems reasonable to see it being a big deal in September at EmoFest. All the "we won't ship it until it is right" pronouncements aside, it would be a big embarrassment not to have it available to take home from the big event. After all, that is a year since it was previewed in the flesh and there has to be some measure of credibility at stake. One has to believe that they will do everything possible to have it there.
But, only time will tell. What time IS it?

Since we have waited so long for the XMC-1, it would be great if they released the RMC-1 around the same time so we can choose either the X or the R.

Wait, first you said you didn't want to wait a year for the XMC but you are ok with waiting for the RMC? So what do you have hooked up the amps now?

Don't have anything right now. I can wait about 2 months. That's when my house will be ready.

If you need a processor now, you can go for the UMC-200 or go for what the previous unreleased XMC-1 was to be with the Sherbourn PT-7030.

Well, the last podcast was about 5 weeks ago and if you look at the general track record for posting podcasts, I'd say we're about due. Maybe sometime next week with the memorial day holiday coming up.

I agree with stiehl11: if one wants a processor from Emotiva or Sherbourn Right Now™, then grab the UMC-200 or PT-7030.

I remember the last time Emo has made a secret warehouse sale last fall, it was to make place for the coming container of XSP-1..... Maybe this actual secret warehouse sale is for the coming container of XMC-1? ? Who know? excepted big Dan himself Last week I expected at least a podcast from him Come on big Dan!
