For the guys that have done the HDMI/HDCP board upgrade does the OSD work on the 4K inputs? I noted that the MC-700 doesn't, the OSD only works on the non 4K inputs.
Cheers
Gary

read the statement again fbczar, when you look at inputs and certain features,I wasn't disputing the sonic register lol, I was talking feature segments you get.. how can you compete a 9/11.x to a 7.x processor when I originally looked at buying the xmc-1 running down its original specs the closest processor/avr i could compare it 2 was my denon avr.. which was close to the same price with the same type of features... yet there was nothing within the prepro arena for the $2,500AUD list price that would match the emo processor because most were within the 9.x format of delivery If you value the number of inputs and outputs as the benchmark of comparison, then you will likely prefer cost competitive AVRs to the XMC-1. The question I start with however is what do I need? I have a 7.2 system with a specific number of devices to hook up and the XMC-1 meets those needs (which include for instance balanced inputs). With the XMC-1 I further get fully balanced L/R which appeals to me because I also use this as my 'stereo' preamp. I also find the esthetics and build quality of the XMC-1 to my liking, a US company appeals to me as well. When I bought the 'upgradeability' was a marketing statement, but they've delivered on that too. The sound quality happens to be the best I've heard, which seals the deal. So, do you need 9 or 11 channels? If so, the XMC-1 is out, keep looking. Or maybe you have other Zones and want the extra channels for that? I have a Zone amp for that purpose, but that adds to the price. I wouldn't get hung up on who the target market is, its us! We've heard from those down under how dear it can be to import electronics so you certainly have to weigh that, but you have company here to help you sort that out. Buy what will meet your needs, your sensibilities, and what you will enjoy for now and the immediate future, there will always be something newer and sometimes better. |

Cheers Gary The new "V3" (2.0b) HDMI upgrade board utilizes Panasonic chips that, as per Dan himself, will do OSD over 4K. I cannot speak for the V2 board because it's lack of support for HDR was a non-starter for me... |

My understanding is that they aren’t shipping any XMC-1’s until the new HDMI board is available, and there’s been no firm date on when that will be. You might read the EmoFest report Mark (klinemj) wrote, it could have some better estimates. You’ll find it in the Greenroom. Edit: Here it is: emotivalounge.proboards.com/post/905370/thread |

I, personally, have no idea how the international "partner" business model works. Here in the US, your XMC-1 is built, tested and is typically shipped within 2-3 days (unless they are backlogged). The XPA "Gen3" series amps were handled the same way, but I do believe they now have pre-built quantities of the most popular sellers (2, 5 and 7). My XPA-5 shipped the day it was ordered. My best advice would be to contact your seller and inquire...  |

Doc's advice is sound. Your retailer should be able to answer any and all questions since he took your order, especially if he has already taken your money.

I noticed Q1 2017 is gone from the Emo website. I have a need for Atmos now...dedicated Atmos speakers in-hand. What is the timeline on the Atmos feature on the XMC-1? Please give a solid date. It is better to under-promise and over-deliver than the other way around. Shane Another 16 months has passed...and we still have nothing. Marantz...here I come... |

Speaking as someone who did just buy a Marantz I would maybe hold off just a tad. Today Emotiva announced that they are discontinuing the current XMC-1 and they will have a replacement out shortly. I don't know if shortly means 2 weeks, 2 months, or something else, but it does mean that they must be close. |

but it does mean that they must be close. I would not say "must." "Maybe" would be a better word. They maybe close and they might not be. Emotiva has done 6 months spacings and larger in the past. And per Jessica they are ahead of their plan to sell out the gen 2. That could increase the gap even more. One thing is for 100% sure, discussing Emotiva time tables is impossible. They don't even have a clue as to their own time tables. |

How could they possibly talk about a new XMC coming out when they have so many problems with the new board, i think they need to get this fixed pronto.

Great There are lots who do have issues And there are lots who don’t, but they don’t post about it because they have nothing to complain about. The silent majority. To clarify, I’m not bragging about not having any issues, just in my own small way balancing the responses. According to Jessica’s post earlier today the sales of XMC-1’s with 4K has far exceeded their expectations. So plenty of people must be happy. Cheers Gary |

Cheers Gary Sorry Gary, but you are making a few huge assumptions here. Most people who have bought the XMC are not on this forum. This forum represents a major minority. If only people here buy Emotiva products, they would have gone out of business a long time ago. So there could quite possibly be thousands of people havings issues, but they called Emotiva instead of coming here. Considering a lot of people here are blue koolaiders, people who tend to look for reasons to give Emotiva accolades, of which there have been very few regarding the V3 board, I'd say your assumptions might just be backwards. And let's not forget about lurkers. If their problem has already been brought up, then they are probably just waiting for a fix quietly. I'm not saying anything is fact, just that I think your assumptions are just that, and, in all likelyhood are wrong on this one. |

I am a very early XMC-1 adopter and my dilemma is I would really like an Atmos upgrade and don't want to buy the 4K board upgrade unless my unit would be able to get an ATMOS upgrade at some point. With no real guidance on if the older XMC-1 will have an ATMOS upgrade option , I am a bit in limbo on what direction to take
