Emotiva does its best to alienate its customers.
MC-700, XSP-1, DC-1 all products that filled a useful space in the marketplace, discontinued.
Much hype about Emersa - never happened.
Substantial development of 3 minorly distinguishable HT processors.
I think they could use some market study of their customers and provide products that fill needed space and allow selection of good / better / best for a particular function.
Discontinuing a product that fills a particular market space without either offering a "next gen" product like XMC-1 to XMC-2, or announcing that they are exiting that market space only disenfranchises its customers.

Onkyo and Sony seem to be out of the high end audio market. 😐. Am I wrong? Onkyo and Sony were ever IN the high-end audio market?

Well, I guess Shiemi and Chuckienut self-deleted in a blaze of something... But I, for one, will miss them. Despite their inherent irascibility, they both were interesting characters - volatile, but interesting...

Since we are moving/downsizing next month to a much smaller house without a media room, I have been selling all of my equipment except the TV, the Denon, 2 Klipsch speakers, needed cables and a small sub. I thought this would be very painful, emotional and nerve racking. It hasn't been at all. Yes I will miss the room and all of the equipment and surround sound movies, etc. but it's a new season with new adventures. Life priorities change!! I'm excited....

Tom Brady is going back to the Super Bowl. Love him or hate him, you can't argue with his records and success. His best "who cares what people think" is what he has done and is still doing. CRAZY!!!

Ever have one of those days when something that always worked wouldn't? I was getting ready to get into my hot tub and was trying to turn on some tunes via Sonos. Recently ripped CD's didn't show up even thought Sonos should have already re-indexed my library. And, XM wouldn't play. So, I just listened via Tidal - which was fine - it had what I wanted.
But, then I dove into what's wrong.
So far, after an hour of work, XM is working again. I decided to delete and re-add my networked drive to see if I could get it to work. It's re-indexing right now. Might take a while. Wish me luck!

OK - figured out what's going on with my recent rips! For some reason, the new rips came in as "APE" files instead of FLAC. I don't know why. All my FLAC files are visible to Sonos. None of the APE files are.
I guess I will re-rip the last few one and make sure they go to FLAC and try again.

Monkey's APE is a lossless audio format, so a direct conversion to flac will be an identical copy of the original. Easy to do with the batch processing convertors like JRiver Media Center or dBPoweramp

Well, I figured out what happened to cause my ripper to go "APE" on me.
It's been a while since I ripped anything. I don't buy a lot of CD's - I mainly stream these days. Since the last time I did any ripping, I got a new PC and I had re-installed JRiver on it, but I didn't check to see what format it was set to rip into. I had 7 CD's sitting around that I'd gotten as gifts (a few that I wanted my own copy of), so I ripped them recently. I never played any of them via my Sonos system since I did that, so I didn't notice the issue...until yesterday.
Right now, I'm going ahead and re-ripping one of them to make sure I have the JRiver settings all correct. Then, I will likely just convert the rest as markc reco'd.
Also lucky for me - I still had all 7 CD's sitting out and had not filed them away. So, it was easy to figure out which ones got affected. Chalk one up for being a procrastinator..."Put the new CD's away" has been on my to-do list for a long time. It never got "to-done"!

Success! Not sure what went wrong with XM within Sonos but that's now fixed also. I ended up deleting it off of Sonos and re-adding it.
