I keep looking for the right place to post questions about the newest iteration of the XMC-1. Since its release is eminent I thought Id create this thread.
Mods, if theres a better place for this, please advise and move.
New board is coming and so is the Atmos version of the XMC-1, can't wait, but ill have to!
Will Dirac LE, Live and Full all work on every version of the XMC-1 ?
Im sure more questions will come.

Emotiva take my money for the upgrade and a new amps to run my Atmos speakers already! I'm am also wondering will we need to pay a Dirac upgrade fee, or will the current full version I have continue to work and for all channels? |

The DIRAC Full version license is not tied to the processor; meaning that if you upgrade, you can run it on the next processor from Emotiva (assuming it supports it). What is limited is how many installations of the software you are allowed on your computer.
Also as a clarification, it is DIRAC Live LE version or Full version. There is also no word on when to expect the next iteration of the XMC-1 as the push is to put out their flagship model RMC-1 for $5K.

I am sure Emotiva and Dirac will be on the same page in regard to any new gear that Emotiva releases. Emotiva was at the front involvement of Dirac's original release. They are partners as far as I can see. I would not worry about it Nick.
I want a dedicated stereo listening gear with Dirac room correction from Emotiva. I know others make it as a stand alone and that may be the way to go verses having a processor in your analog gear chassis. Maybe you can put the processing chips you need in something like the XSP-1 and still get good analog sound out of it. I just would not want to buy the XMC-1 or RMC-1 for a dedicated two channel system.

He did a great job at the last EmoFest of asking Dan/Lonnie/Ray the pertinent questions that everyone wanted/needed answered, but this time he'll have the speaker guru ,Rory, to interview as well!!! |

My threads are like that! 😋 They seem to get locked often! But nobody gets to post on them, 😢 LC knows what he is talking about here and a Mark only update thread sounds cool to me. We need solid info from the source that does not get stepped on around here. Let's just hope that info on all the gear that we get is not vapor. I see Emotiva changing there stance on info and that is a good thing. I told them to keep it silent until and they did not like that. It is the Emersa gear I want to see and got frustrated. |

My threads are like that! 😋 They seem to get locked often! But nobody gets to post on them, 😢 Most likely we'll keep the thread open, but leave the first, 4 or 5 posts empty for Mark to add what it is that he deems necessary. There will no quoting of Mark's initial posts, as they will be long and informed with his first hand info. Mainly just question posts that haven't been answered yet, this way we keep clutter to a minimum and all Lounge members and guest know they need only go to the beginning of the thread for the latest answers and updates. This is how we did the last EmoFest and it worked out nicely! |

This thread has got way off course but I am blown away by all the products Emotiva has and will have.
I kinda think they need to rename the different versions of the XMC-1.

When the new upgrade boards are available, there will only be 4 versions, if I'm thinking correctly. 1. HDMI 1.4 board, ie: v1 video board 2. HDMI 2.0 board, ie: v2 video board (1 HDMI 2.o/HDCP 2.2 compliant input & output, not HDR capable) 3. HDMI 2.0b board, ie: v3 video board, all HDMI 2.0b inputs/outputs) 4. HDMI 2.0b board, ie: v3 board & Dolby Atmos/DTS:X upgrade. |
