Stunning! I love the look without the trim (which is how I plan to use it with my XPA-2)... I'm looking forward to your first impressions of sound quality... |

Ok, Ok. Kick me please! Great looking system.  How about zooming out a little so we can see the entire system. |

If that huge box to the right of your system is a sub, I'm flabbergasted. Your system must sound awesome.

Okay, people need to stop saying nice things about the XDA-1. I'm on the waiting list and if there are bad reviews I'll get mine faster. Then everyone can praise it.
Deal?!

On a more serious note some criticism would be helpful so that we know the limitations / quirks before the rest of us dive in and pay. Of course if there isn't any then there isn't any. |

Just received mine this morning and installed it. No fancy mumbo jumbo, it simply provides a more clear, detailed and punchy sound. Particularly in rendering the high frequencies. It's much less harsh. I'm running the optical out from a Mac Pro at 16/44.1 and 24/96 and feeding it directly into a UPA-2 powering a subwoofer crossed over at 80Hz with outputs to a pair of ERM-1s I use on my home office desktop.
Loving it. Things have never sounded better. I may try it in the HT but feeding the outputs into the Onkyo 707 just feels wrong. The 707 needs to go, but not ready for that yet.
I would have preferred a headphone jack with a quality amp, as well as a rotary volume control, but small annoyances.

Until I get a unit for review when they become available... you are the man...give us your detailed analysis and convince a skeptical America why they should form a long line for this baby! |

BIG V10,
How are you hooking up the Sub if you are going direct from XDA to the UPA?

I'm running the UPA-2 directly into a the subwoofer high-level inputs (speaker terminals) which is crossing over at 80Hz and sending the the rest via high-level outputs to the ERM-1's.
This wouldn't work for the Emotiva subs as they only have a low level or line level input which requires a processor of some kind to do bass management. I think others in this situation are splitting the low-level RCA output of the XDA-1 and installing inline filters to direct the frequencies to the proper speakers.

Got it. I am going to get the RCA's to my klipsch sub and use its' crossover and run xlr's to XPA-2 to my MMG's.
