Was there no mention of the 2.0a upgrade board. I would think that would be a good add on when the Atmos is done.

Well it looks like most of us will be paying for the upgrades.
For me I think the best thing would be wait until all the upgrades come out ( 2017 ) and them use my UFL (25%) to buy a brand new one, then sell the one I have now @ say $1500.00aud.
cheers

If anything the web page is a bit understated ; perhaps while details and licensing are worked out mention will be made eventually of DSU and DTS-X neural processing too as they come with the package ? Will be interesting to see if pl2x survives [as the new algorithms are a replacement] or they are left as is like yamaha have done . Exciting times  |

All in all, this is fairly revolutionary and demonstrates why so many of us are Emotiva buyers / users / listeners / supporters / fans
I am very reassured by Keith's announcement in this forum and the information on the XMC-1 product page.
I have no doubt it can be delivered but I hope that there are not the niggles that some still have with the current DSP.
I do worry a little that timeframes are provided as we know to take them with a pinch of salt..... Early 2017 for the new DSP engine with 7.2.4 Atmos and DTS-X and possibly all-channels Dirac 96/24 and possibly Unison and possibly more than one Dirac preset sounds optimistic?
There is only one other feature of the DSP I might like that has not been mentioned - DSD over PCM decoding via HDMI (DOP)

Sounds like a good plan though. |

So if I buy yours for $A1500 then take it with me for servicing (while on holidays) and spend $A400 + $A800 that's $A2700. So I'll be $A600 in front and your XMC-1 (now mine) will have been back to Emotiva for the upgrades plus a factory check over. The bonus, since I'll be getting something I already own serviced, I won't be paying any GST on the way back, so that's another $A330 I'll save. Seriously, let me know when you want to sell it.

Better wait and see if Emotiva considers the new version a new generation processor, and thus eligible for the Upgrade For Life.
If it's still the same generation, I don't believe the discount is available.

I really pretty sure of this statement. |

If it's still the same generation, I don't believe the discount is available. I thought the updated XMC-1 for 2017 will be a Gen 3. So that would make it a newer generation over the current Gen 2. The UFL entitles one to buy two of the same generation at a 25% discount. I bought two one for myself and one for a friend.
