Thanks for confirmation, Dan. Much appreciated. Any additional information regarding my other questions about signal flow and DD+? Thank you. 11 bands of PEQ on ALL channels. No... ๐

I have one on order. Replacing my Lexicon DC2. Should be interesting.

So no DD+ and the same signal flow and crossover behavior as the UMC-200? Bummer. Thanks for confirmation, Dan. Much appreciated. Any additional information regarding my other questions about signal flow and DD+? Thank you. No... ๐

"Any additional info...?" - "No" Reading helps... You are interpreting!

My post was directed urwi, this wasnยดt clear I guess. Besides being a little bit cynical, I am actually trying to help between the lines... So no DD+ and the same signal flow and crossover behavior as the UMC-200? Bummer. The UMC-200 does DD+ (at least it did with my FireTV box), so I really doubt that the MC-700 is a step back in this regard. But Urwi understood your post this way, which I tried to imply might be wrong. I am having fun, all is well - thank you Dan!

Hi guys,
Is the BasX the affordable Emotiva range, hence not comparable sound wise to the XMC-1 ?
I guess the reason I'm asking is because I currently use a set an XPA-5 Gen 2 and UMC-1. I run a set of Elac 407 speakers. The speakers and amplifier are new generation (well, early 2016) and my next upgrade would be the UMC-1 - but I'm wondering MC-700 or XMC-1 at 4 x the price ?
I feel the XMC- would be a better both cosmetically and sound wise, the speakers and amplifier are fairly decent quality.
Just curious !

Going to wait for end game,which never ends, get the MC-700! Dont you just love this hobby?!?!

This hobby is going to bankrupt me! What's worse is that in my older age I've started worrying about looks and matching. I need my processor to match the anp, hence looking at the XMC ... Or buy BasX amps and processor

Just plug the video source directly into the TV or monitor and bypass all the processing!! Is this a legit workaround for us using 1080p still. If so is the MC700 worth moving to from my mmc. Or would you do the umc 200. I am holding off on the xmc until the rmc release drops the price of the xmc

Yeah, I saw it was old. I was still considering one of the two so the question was valid

I was still considering one of the two so the question was valid Cant speak to the MC700 rdlkgliders but the real question is whether your happy with lossy decoding or want better room eq [ imagine the MMC has basic or none being a vintage piece ? ] and lossless audio .. A used umc200 has no worries with 1080p [and no bypassing direct to display] ; Ide save a few interim $$ as you save up for dirac ; why ? The XMC1 may well be sold out by now ; there were only 20 left last podcast.. so you will be waiting a considerable time for the XMC2 Its got a newer architecture and more integrated atmos etc to look forward to..
