I can't wait to get my grubby little paws on this baby. I'm sure it will sound so good I'll be filled with EMOtions? huh huh ? I have been testing and listening to it for some time now and it sounds incredible. It actually sounds better than the ERC (there a reason for this which I will fill you in on later). But it just needs a little more shake down time and I will be giving you more info then. ;D I look forward to this! So if we have the ERC-1, USP-1 to the XMC/UMC it will benefit from these engineering achievements? I hope you got your coffee! I grind my beans every morning and have two primary vices: Coffee in the morning and wine in the evening! Thanks for the efforts made to keep everyone informed!

I have been thinking about buying a Maverick Audio Tube Magic D1, but this Emotiva offering has me wondering. I might just go ahead with the D1 and then try this one when it comes along to see which I like best. I want to try a DAC, but I really don't want to spend too much on it...both these seem to fit the bill for that. Anyway, looking forward to hearing more! Thanks, Randy

I've also had my eye on that Maverick Audio DAC. I was thinking it would be perfect because I could also use it as a headphone amp with the UMC-1. But I'd like to hear from others who know more about such things. Think it's worth $200? www.mavaudio.com/base/product/tube_magic_d1/hardware/

No Kidding and me too! I used to play in a band and had so much before we met so I have been drawing a circle around this area and saying you need to trust me here and this is not about our next car! It's working! ;D

I haven't bought anything in a while thats made me do a happy dance. I NEED the happy dance!!!!!

After 3 weeks of silence, is there any news for us? Its on hold until I work through what are real issue on the UMC and what are just user or operational issues. Once I get this behind me, I can knock it out pretty quick.

Please let us know how it tests with Airport Express 11n - that unit is known to have very high jitter that has given the Peachtree Nova problems (the older 11g is apparently more well behaved).
Thanks in advance.

Forget about the UMC (I want a XMC, or better still, a RMC with dual video matrix sometime next year for our HT), any progress with the DAC? I want to stream from my iMac to it!
