The Foundation would appear to be a very pricey alternative to the XMC-1 or any of the usual suspects. And $2500 for an upgrade board is shocking, $500 more than a complete XMC-1 - WHOA!! And no OSD, you have to use the cheesy dot matrix display on the front panel of the prepro? No way in hell I'd pay $6500 for that "privilege"!
I was also interested to see how Mikey Fremer positively *gushed* over the sound quality of the Foundation, it was somewhat embarrassing, IMHO. And yet, one of the AVSForum members who happens to have a Halcro as well as the Foundation stated categorically that the Halcro crushed the Foundation. Hmmmm, from gush to crush....I'm sure the Foundation boosters are now saying "Hush!"
SCT - I'm a poet and didn't know it...

ya it sounds a lot better then it did with USP-1, sounds almost as good as my J A Michell tt J A Michell made piece of Art. Did you try the AES/EBU connection between the ERC and XMC and compare it to the analog? I'm very interested about this.

I'm following your posts on this one, his ERC-1 doesn't have AES/EBU, are you only interested in that kind of digital connection?

ARGGHHH... "Bongo" ? - another Emotiva email that is NOT my XMC!. Please stop sending emails Emotiva until its "the one"! i notice you have 4 subs from mark.i have 2 f-2's.i live in florida where they do knockdown finish on the ceilings.basically it is sheet mud troweled on to cover poor sheetrock installation and then painted. Anyway , my wife and i were noticing these beige flakes of something on the floor around the house.I thought the cat did something.However, i have determined the subs are knocking the paint off the ceiling .the vibrations in the house are tremendous.Doors rattles,pictures move,and it is amazing. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT 4 WOULD DO. i WISH I COULD HEAR YOUR SYSTEM !
