Why not? I don't need to - I'm getting everything I need doing things the way I have them configured.

A quick example nick, the ATV4K only has one HDMI out (no optical, no coax, just one HDMI). I have tried a HDMI splitter with the input from the ATV4K and one output to the Samsung TV and one to the UMC-200. Keeping in mind that I have 5 metres between the TV and the UMC-200. I get either audio break up (with the ATV4K next to the TV) or picture break up (with the ATV4K next to the UMC-200). The only solution that works is using the ARC from the Samsung TV to the UMC-200. Good video and good audio. I don't need CEC, I don't want CEC, I hate CEC, I've never been able to get CEC working properly with any of my gear, now or in the past, I'd turn it off but with the Samsung TV , to get ARC to work, I have to have CEC turned on. That's just how It is I do sympathize with your frustration. This is the reason I didn’t purchase a ATV 4K, sucks IMHO 🤯 Blows my mind they dropped the ball that badly! So I use my TV or Samsung 4K player. 👍 It makes no difference nick, the cable box is the same, one HDMI output, so I need ARC for it. Of all my gear only the 203 has 2 x HDMI outputs, that's on loan, and may well be replaced with a Sony 4K player, which also only has one HDMI output, so I'll need ARC for it as well. Cheers Gary

Oppo should have kept that 2nd hdmi input

Sorry to interrupt but is full fledge 4k here yet ? Seems like it has been just around the corner forever.. Just for my information is the HDMI out yet that makes it worth buying all 4k gear ? Looks like I am going to miss it but damn this has been dragging out forever ! Hell yes, great 4K picture from the Apple TV4K, with Netflix and Stan (the Aussie alternative). Good shows like Better Call Saul, Star Trek Discovery and my current favourite Electric Dreams which is just stunning in 4K. Plus of course 4K movies via the Oppo 203. Cheers Gary

Oppo should have kept that 2nd hdmi input I’m pretty sure I could get it to work without ARC, but I’d have to buy 4 x 5 metre HDMI 2.0 cables, 3 x HDMI 2.0 splitters and I’d still have to switch inputs using both the UMC-200 and the Samsung TV. For about the same amount of $’s I could sell the UMC-200 and buy an MC-700 (with my UFL discount). Get rid of the duplication, saves running multiple 5 metre cables and (most importantly) improves the WAF. Which has worn a big thin over the last 4 months, with maybe another 5 months to go. FWIW, the 203 is on loan from my cousin who is sailing around the pacific. When he gets back I’ll return his 203. Then I might buy a 203 myself or maybe a Sony 4K player, for less than half the cost. Cheers Gary

Am I mistaken, or did Emo just drop the price of the upgrade board by $100? It's listed as $399 now, and I could have sworn it was $499 previously.

What's the deal with the special package price? SPECIAL OFFER: Because shipping is included in the cost of each enhancement upgrade, if you choose to purchase both at the same time, a discount of $100 will be applied – so the total price for both, if purchased at the same time, will be $998 – including shipping.With the HDMI V3 at $399 and Atmos/DTX at $599, it no longer adds up. Maybe, this is just an oversight, and the new package deal will be $898?

The Price should be $599 for both or a huge trade in value for XMC! owners. .... all though to have the upgrades $999 would be acceptable

ETA for the New V3 HDMI board have been update from "Q4 2017" to "Available 2018" so basically Emotiva gets 12 months for the release!! According to 2 Peter 3:8-9 NEV (New Emotiva Version): 8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With Emotiva a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 9 Emotiva is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead Emotiva is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to enjoy audiophile sound at a reasonable price.
