I think you learn more about a person via their response than most anything else. What did you learn from me, that I'm long winded?!?!?! Can you please summarize your post in 3 words or less? I'm tired and don't want to read it all. FYI, I'm an INTP (off the scale on every one), and after a week with people - I'm done. But, given my last letter, I'm always open to other possibilities.

That J at the end makes me completely politically incorrect anymore. Now back to the thread topic. How DOES it sound?

Mine sounds absolutely fantastic, and that's with only setting distance and levels. I have 2 sacd's that i don't play anymore, because they sounded awful on my xmc-1 which had a custom dirac target curve. I played both on my rmc-1 and they sound so much better, especially my mfso sacd of the band which now sounds spectacular.
I can't wait until i can apply dirac live and see how much if any, i can improve on the sound. Even if dirac wasn't an option, i would be more than happy how the rmc-1 sounds right now. Hope that helps!

It's hard to do a full comparison until Dirac is available but I can tell you that even with a basic setup inputting speaker distance, basic cross over points etc it sounds OUTSTANDING! I'm running a 7.2.2 set up for now.
Previous processors were an XMC-1 with Dirac, and then an Anthem AVM 60 with ARC. The RMC-1 has a lower noise floor (dead quiet) and vastly improved dynamics. It is not a small improvement it is a game changer IMO.
I will hold out for Dirac for a formal review but I am really impressed with it so far and have had zero issues to date. Anybody near the PA/NJ border is more than welcome to stop by for a listen.

I realize this is an old thread which incidentally never received a proper answer other than this one. So I will ask it again, how does the RMC-1 sound especially with 2 channel? Thanks for your comments here though.

I’m goint to try streaming tidal to it via USB shortly I have the XMC-1, and should have asked how does it compare to the RMC-1 with two channel? Not that I am dissatisfied with the XMC-1, far from it but you know audiophiles being what they are… I look forward to your thoughts with your streaming episode this evening. Happy Listening!

Stand by, found my long USB cable. Be a few minutes Update; drivers installing Update #2; does the PC require drivers for the RMC-1?

Sounds bery very nice! Damn Good! Update! The RMC-1 with its little quarks, mine are very little compared to others, is an incredible multi use processor! I’ve not experienced any audio dropouts via Oppo player or ATV 4K. Same for my PC, just plugged and shes playing some music so beautifully!. irish gaelic names female

I’m having a few issues but it involves Roon and not the RMC-1. Roon keeps stopping, any suggestions?

I think it’s configured cornow, one whole LP streamed without a drop. Was the PC. Sounding great now very detailed and spacious. Articulate too! DAC is nice and smooth too, not a Sabre sound, closer to a Byrr- Brown but not as rounded in sound at the top. Hope that makes sense! 😁
