If not mentioned yet, as we say in the broadcast world, phantoms,or splits.
sometimes the radio announcer calls the game better than lance blow dry.
so take video source a with audio source b and assign that map to button x
that part should be easy, I would think. Tweaking the lip sync on a input by input basis might be a little tougher.
thanks for listening!

RE: independent dimming of buttons and displayAfter using the XMC-1 for some time now, I'd like to suggest a small improvement based on my usage scenario (of which I know that it might not apply to everybody). I'm using my XMC-1 in a darkened room with a projector. Naturally I need to control the light sources in the room to minimize the impact to the picture quality. The most light of the XMC-1 is emitted by the uber bright, blue LEDs in the buttons. So I tried the lowest dim settings (20%), but it turns out this is still too bright IMHO. So the only remaining option is to turn the buttons off entirely, which is not necessarily what I want to do. 1 or 2 more dím levels between 0% and 20% would be very welcome. Nevertheless, if I disable the lighting of the buttons altogether, then I also loose the display as it shares the dim settings with the buttons. The display however is not in the same league as the buttons when it comes to light output. Even in the brightest settings the display is way more gentle. So, I believe that for me a button dim setting of 5% and a display dim setting of 80% would be spot on (pun intended  . Unfortunately tho it is not possible to set the XMC-1 up in such a way as of now, which is why I'd like to suggest to provide individual settings for button and display dimming. TL;DR: It would be cool to have independent dim settings for buttons and display. And maybe also a few more dim levels for buttons at the bottom end between 0% and 20%.

Subwoofer distance setting in Dirac mode to allow for fine tuning of sub/speaker crossover region.

IIRC, most of the HDCD recordings were country. For some reason, it didn't make a lot of inroads. Neil Young, the Grateful Dead, and maybe Dylan, all have extensive HDCD catalogs, pretty much anything issued or re-issued recently. I'm sure there are others. Of course, those three all have ties to country, either directly or via folk/"Americana", if nothing else. |

Tweaking the lip sync on a input by input basis might be a little tougher. thanks for listening! joe This is pretty much what we have been asking for with regard to making input setup "UMC-1" like...being able to pair any video input with any audio input, and being able to assign either to multiple "virtual" input slots...there is a poll somewhere. Lonnie Vaughn has said it's possible, but won't be done unless enough people ask for it. There's a poll somewhere on this board... Right now, all we can do is sort of fake it, by keeping the audio sources you want to use with a particular video source in successive "virtual input" slots, and using the "last selected video source" feature...but that only gets you so far... |

SqueezeOS
I would like to see SqueezeOS implemented on the XMC-1, its a lightweight thoroughbred streaming app which is linux based so wouldn't be too difficult to implement on the XMC-1.
The server is implemented on another PC, MAC, NAS box so the overhead on the XMC-1 would be low.
Would look excellent on the XMC-1's display.

Nice idea. The problem as I see it though is that as soon as Emotiva add some form of streaming client to the XMC-1 people will expect others as well. Support could become a nightmare. The XMC is a pre/pro not a streaming client . I think we should leave streaming to devices we plug into the unit. |

The XMC is a pre/pro not a streaming client . I think we should leave streaming to devices we plug into the unit. There are a few advantages to having a streaming client built in to the XMC-1, one of of them being reducing clutter and number of devices. Another, which I find more important is the potential for better sounds since it could go straight to the internal DAC via I2S rather then using S/PDIF, USB, etc. inputs I do see the point with support nightmare though. |

The big advantage to Squeeze OS / Squeezelite is the client server approach.
The streaming clients Pandora/Spotify/Tidal/Deezer etc etc are all implemented on the server. There is already a large community of users supporting the platform.
The squeeze client is lightweight but yes there would be some support required from Emotiva, but wouldn't every other feature request here require the same.

As for the my preference, I bought my first Squezeebox 2005, I'm all in favor for that approach, rather than using the significantly worse UPnP or DLNAI even suggested it while back in this thread.  |

I fully endorse the addition of Squeezelite to the XMC-1 if it is at all feasible. So much better than any Upnp solution I have ever seen. Considering that I have it running on an RPi using Picoreplayer with good results it seems this "could" be possible for the XMC-1?
Maybe Emotiva could offer it as an experimental firmware with all the caveats and minimal support for the adventurous?

Dsd via the USB input
And with squeezelite client Software that would really be great . hopefully this would be seriously considered

I have stayed away from the trigger outputs of the XMC-1 until the dust settled from the original firmware.
Today I wired up Trigger 1 to start the daisy-chain of turning on my amplifiers.
This is still a little too quick as the Anthem MCA-20 that drives my subs has a big current in-draw.
It would be nice if each Trigger could have a delay value associated with it. This would be a delay between when the logical condition of the trigger is true and when the physical voltage is actually provided.
This should be very simple to implement on the XMC-1.
Just food for thought....
I could care less about turning things on dependent on selected input etc.

Hope your feeling great!! to me, I do like the ability to have just my MONOBLOCKs turn on when I listen to two channel, I don't really want my multi channel amp just sitting there burning juice and doing nothing.  I got my unit with FW 3 pre installed and haven't had anything but a user error,,,,,he,,,,he,,,,he,,,,,, Most of our problems will be found there!  Have a a great Day! |
