Wow. That XMC-1 looks a LOT different than the old one. In fact, it looks closer to the new RMC-1 than the old XMC-1. At one point just a bit over a year ago Dan Laufman had indicated that a new XMC-2 was in the works which would have the front three channels Left/Center/Right as fully differential. Is this that processor, just called the XMC-1 instead of XMC-2? Oh, and specifications??? Casey It is almost exactly the original RMC-1 until some of us questioned it and they added the expansion modules. Less 3 output channels or course. It's very nice, but..... Sigh, once again, more of some things and less of others. Why does it always seem to be this way with most electronics and tech these days? (Not just Emotiva for sure) No 7.1 inputs, no analog rec out loop, only 1 Zone out, and loosing the analog RCA outs. More channels, 1 more balanced, a few more digital inputs, and a cooler interface. Steps up and steps back. I personally find it annoying. But again, I can't just blame Emotiva, it's everywhere. Just the way it is I guess. Anyway, this isn't really the thread for this conversation, so I'll move on. Although I think it very well might warrant a new thread discussing these issues, and, what is going to happen to the old XMC-1 and when? Does this mean no more upgrade thing as planned? Or is that still going to happen with this new unit not coming out until 2019 or beyond? This unit being named the XMC-1 raises some questions. Please start another thread and not answer me here if you want to discuss. |

Hey Bonzo, I see an RCA Analogue Zone2 output. But yeah, no 7.1 analogue inputs (so few people use them any more), no analog record output (even fewer people), and no analog outputs at all (also not used by very many people). All in all it looks like they ditched stuff too few people use to justify the costs. I'm sort of amazed they kept 3 analog RCA inputs. I'm interested in what they're using for the front Left/Center/Right channels. I'm guessing whatever the RMC-1 is using (AK4490EN's the last time we got an update). And I imagine the same DSP or at least a little brother in a related family so they can use mostly the same programming. Casey |

Holy carp....$700 for the DC-2? I can't imagine what the full size XDA-3 will run then.

So Hair Nick, now that we have an "Official Emotiva CES Thread", when can we expect to get the current up-to-date specifications on the new XMC-1 and RMC-1? Curious minds and all ... Casey |

Seems like the digital amps did not make an appearance, no emersa amps or stealth monoblocks.

So, Hair Nick, now that CES has started, are there any specification materials that are available there which you can release? It would be great to see some detailed information about the new XMC-1, "gen3", and the RMC-1 — especially comparison information between the two of them ... Casey |

I called Emotiva headquarters, most of the staff is in Vegas,,,,,,,”what happens,,,,,,,,” well, we want to know! LOL Headquarters could not confirm nor deny that the DC-2 has a trigger in or out. My thinking is that if your going to do a half sized stack with the DC-2 and monoblock amps as pictured some time ago, your going to need triggers.  |

There is a CES document floating around showing the back of the D.C.-2. There is a single trigger out. Thats what it appears to be, BUT Emotiva staff is mumm and the documentation does NOT state a trigger. Trigger has been on everybody’s list since the first DC-1, Im guessing its just an oversight that its not listed anywhere. |

Are the lights back on? Somebody must have brought a few XPR-1’s into the show! 😁
Boom Boom, Out Go the Lights!
