See my post in that XMC-2 thread - quite detailed specifications of the XMC-2 on the item description page but a conspicuous absence of any mention of Dirac on the XMC-2 page as it stands. Indeed ; comes down to when Dirac updates everyone as well as Emo Its good that the parametric eq is still there

No Dirac, no XMC-2 for me. I need the best room correction

Let me try to get it back on course. Is there a guess as to when this program would commence, and the amount of time between the time I would disconnect my XMC-1 and when my XMC-2 would arrive? I use the XMC-1 every day, and losing it would definitely impact my leisure time spent using it. Right, if they have to receive and confirm your trade in XMC-1 before shipping the XMC-2, your system could be down at least two weeks (west coast 5 business days each way, YMMV). I hope they come up with a pay in advance, then credit, allowing you to remove and replace in one shot. Pay in advance would cause issues with those not in the continental US. They would have to pay duties and taxes based on the price on the invoice and without the $2k trade in ... OUCH I wonder why they are not opening (right now) the trade-in to those that want the RMC-1? A great way to boost the sales and “get rid” of all those willing to buy them and start the used XMC sales?

One thing that I think Emovita missed putting into the XMC-2 and RMC-1 is WiFi. As I understand it we will still have to hard wire them to the internet using a Ethernet cable to use Dirac when available. Since the last time I set up Dirac on my XMC-1 I had to relocated all my Internet equipment to another part of my house and will need at lease 45 to 50 feet of Ethernet cable to reach my router. WiFi would have made life much simpler. Still must decide XMC-2 Or RMC-1L I got my name on both pre-order list.

TiVo has the option for advanced replacement. Essentially, they charge you for the full product if they do receive the unit in 30 days. I think it is possible to place a hold on the card for the full amount.
It is a bit more complicated for Emotiva since the condition of the unit factors into the upgrade price.

I still think that might be a problem, as there may be legal requirements for how they bill, I hope they can show a reduced value for those paying duties and taxes. I kind of assumed they might accept a trade in on the RMC-1 now, though it could just be they haven’t worked out the details for return, evaluation, etc. Maybe if someone called to make an RMC-1 order they would accommodate a trade in.

Problem solved or even cheaper buy a 50ft Cat5 cable to plug in when you need. www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-XAVB101-Powerline-Ethernet-Adapter/dp/B001AGM2VIOne thing that I think Emovita missed putting into the XMC-2 and RMC-1 is WiFi.

A travel router would be another workaround. Cheaper, but less reliable than the non-wireless options. I agree that this is a miss on Emotiva's part, however.

No Dirac, no XMC-2 for me. I need the best room correction This is going to sound odd coming from me, but you need to stop saying stuff like this, implying it will NEVER have it. It WILL have Dirac. The lack of Dirac right now is NOT Emotiva's fault, it's Diracs. I have all confidence Emotiva's RMC-1, RMC-1L, and XMC-2 will have Dirac, eventually. Perhaps you could just change your statement to, no XMC-2 for me UNTIL Dirac is actually available, not just promised. Crap, I did it again. I really need to start my own thread. I'll do it soon when I get time.

Bonzo is right(did I just say that ), Hair Nick has already nipped this in the bud, all three processors RMC-1/RMC-1L/XMC-2 will have DIRAC enabled when Dirac is finished with the software.

More crap to mess with the SQ, you want that buy a Marantz. I have the WiFi in my AV8802, but I still use the hard wire Ethernet. Just a more stable connection. I never have issues used g the iPhone app when hardwired, but when it was on WiFi I had a lot of issues.

I never have issues used g the iPhone app when hardwired, but when it was on WiFi I had a lot of issues. For some reason when I moved into my current house, using wireless has never been half-way reliable. Even with the wireless modem centrally located in my home, I get under performing wireless N/AC no matter the band 2.4/5.0, not to mention I can't stand "buffering". That was when I took the time to run CAT 6 cabling through my attic to all my rooms. Problems solved.

Pay in advance would cause issues with those not in the continental US. They would have to pay duties and taxes based on the price on the invoice and without the $2k trade in ... OUCH Not the case for Australia, I buy stuff from overseas all the time, the sender declares the value eg:$700, on the Customs Declaration. That’s all that matters, I get many things shipped with no invoice attached, direct and by reshippers, and it’s the declared value that is used to calculate duty and tax. Cheers Gary

It was me...lol In Canada it is the real invoice not the shipper declared amount that counts. CRA may on low value go with the declared value, but on higher $$$ amounts the invoice is the thing. So if Emo charges $2999 that is the taxable value. If the charge $2999 - $1999 trade it is $1000 taxable. If Emo declares a value that different from how much the charged/invoiced the customer, there would be problems for them shipping to Canada. CRA doesn’t like incorrect values unless they are way higher so they collect more taxes. LoL Way too many years at the Feds ... ]Not the case for Australia, I buy stuff from overseas all the time, the sender declares the value eg:$700, on the Customs Declaration.

CRA doesn’t like incorrect values unless they are way higher so they collect more taxes. LoL Way too many years at the Feds ... Not everything is shipped with an invoice, for example I sent a camera back to the US for warranty, there was no invoice with it when it came back just a customs declaration that it was being returned from warranty servicing at no charge. I assume Canadian Customs people are just like their Australian equivalents, overworked and underpaid and the volume of overseas imports increases daily. So they take the shortest possible route, if there is a customs declaration with no invoice then they take that as it would take them too long and too much effort to do anything else. I suggest you talk to Emotiva customer service, they handle this sort of stuff everyday. There are lots of alternatives including no invoice with goods, a pro forma invoice showing the net value after trade in etc. In Australia I could also claim the GST back when I shipped the XMC-1 back to the US (no customs duty we have a free trade agreement with the US) but the paperwork is a nightmare. I'll most likely take a holiday for a couple of weeks in the US, declare the XMC-1 on the way out as being taken for servicing, then bring "it" back. No freight, no GST which covers my airfare and I get a holiday bonus (I haven't been to Nashville yet). Cheers Gary
