Hey all, I finally called Emotiva and ordered up a USP-1!!! I am really excited to get it in, I had to wait and time the order with my days off.  I spoke with Vince there. Really cool guy and totally positive on the phone.  As I have stated elsewhere on this forum, my UPA-1s FAR exceeded any hopes I had for them so...here we go again. I am sure Emotiva won't let me down.   I will do a mini review of it once I get it home and have an opportinity to play with it a bit. Thanks for reading. -Dave |

Hi There and no worries. When I was doing my research on how I would hook up the USP-1 inline to my AVR I had a difficult time with the manual so I created a visio diagram and simulated the connection. I then asked the forum to validate it with me. Once I got that done then I added some additional posts with the settings I used for low pass and High pass as I bought that bad boy and love it. here is the link if it is helpful to you. emotivalounge.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=prepro&action=display&thread=6678In answer to your question though a configuration diagram is a visual reference for how you can or should cable the unit to your other gear. This configuration applies to my setup and yours may vary somewhat! |

Dave, You are gonna love the USP-1!!! Did you also order an ERC-1 to compliment it??? Sticknstones setup configuration is extremely helpful, especially if you going to incorporate it with a home theater processor. Lots of work went into that along with a few corrections over the long haul. As helpful as it has been to many, I set mine up as a dedicated two channel system, and it gets more use than my dedicated home theater. |

Thanks for the info sticknstones. And thanks for the positive words all. I haven't been this stoked about gear since I ordered my UPA1s. ;D My plan at the moment is to build a 2 channel system and a seperate HT system later on. I am kind of waiting for the HDMI issues to get worked out, especially since 3D and HDMI 1.4 is on the way.  By the time I actually get my 2 ch. music only system done, everything "should" be calmed down and a standard reached...we'll see... |

I don't own an USP-1 but heard one from the guy (and forum member) I bought my XPA-2 off of. It sounded too sweet! I am totally jealous. I will spring for one of these bad boys when I get a solid DAC.
Enjoy the analog bliss!

I would like to get an ERC-1 as well. I am under the impression that the DAC in that player is VERY good. Seems like it would be a "dream system" IMO. The ERC-1 will be next up on my list of Emotiva gear to get...I REALLY need to stop buying amps and preamps and REALLY start saving for a set of B&Ws. My plan is to get an Emotiva ERC-1 cd player, a Sony XDRF1HD tuner,keep using my current Onkyo TA-R440 casette deck, and add either a Pro-ject Debut III or Rega P1 turntable to replace my cheap Sony one that I use currently. All of those components would run into the USP-1 to a pair of UPA-1s and (hopefully) a set of Bowers & Wilkins CM-7s or (even better) CM-9s.  ahhhh.....dreams.....anyway, that is what I am planning on building at the time of this writing. ;D At least I now have the amps, and the pre-amp ships tomorrow (monday) and I already own the Onkyo tape deck so....slowly but surely, I will get there. |
