Would love to see the final RMC-1 specs (i.e. confirmation that it does 9.1.6 processing).

I see Sound and Vision noticed a new Emotiva receiver, the XMR-1: www.soundandvision.com/content/emotiva-shows-new-avr-and-separates I didn't even know something like that was in the works, it looks like an awesome unit from their short take, any more details? It's going to use Pascal amp modules instead of an Emotiva in-house design? I know the Pascal amps are very highly regarded, I'm excited to learn more about this. |

Any more info on the XMR-1? WIll the 40% card work for an AVR?
Have to say, that looks pretty sweet....

We shared a preview of the XMR-1 to show where Emotiva is heading and what we are working on. An official statement/press release, specs, and release date will come later in the year! As soon as we are ready, we'll share something with you all soon! |

I have to say, I am a little disappointed Emotiva hasn't found a way to change the digital optical light on the backside to Emo blue instead of red.  All kidding aside, thanks for keeping those of us who can't make it out updated. |

Any updates on the Emersa line up? Especially, curious about the integrated with expansion modules. Would like a to see module with multiple 4K hdmi inputs and video pass through hdmi output. Other modules could be used to customize for other needs.

So, Hair Nick, any official specifications sheets available yet for the new XMC-1 and the RMC-1? Any comparisons available between them? Curious Minds want to know ... :-) Casey |

I've been traveling today but will have many more updates for you guys tomorrow.  Looks like Emo missed another date.... I kid!!! Sorry, I couldn't resist. What? Too soon? |

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 So, if the Pre/Pro is in a HT along with all your other equipment, without analogue out how do we zone out to areas 2,3,4? FYI to engineering- I have high quality analogue equipment that I'm NOT dumping. I will find another supplier that does have analogue in/out's. Only 3 analogue in? No line level out besides zone 2? really? More & more equipment is made without analogue out and this design doesn't help the problem. Addition by subtraction, no thanks; need more flexibility, not less. Looks like the XMC-1 is now surround/stereo for only one room, unless I swap out cables.  Sorry to be a contrarian. |

I use the XSP-1 for all of my analogue stereo 2.1 listening, so personally I really don't care about analogue inputs/outputs on the XMC-1. The sound out of the Sabre DAC's used in Oppo 95/105/205 I don't like so the 7.1 inputs would be useless for me. If I had an XMC-1 (a possibility) or RMC-1 (not likely) it would be used for HT and multi channel digital music, no need to waste money and real estate on stuff I won't use. Which means digital room correction (DIRAC or otherwise) and bass management. I just don't have any use for multiple conversions messing with the sound like DAC to ADC to DAC etc. Why should I be forced to pay for stuff for others to use that I never will, as long as it's fit for my purpose I'm perfectly OK. The question really is am in the minority of Emotiva buyers or the majority? Cheers Gary |

Time marches on. There are always hangers on to the old. For some one to expect an AVR or a prepro to handle every format ever conceived by man from Edison to today's immersive sound is idiocy, most likely resulting in a product that is too complicated to use or is too likely to have something fail or simply is a jack of all trades but master of none. A HT bypass function allows for expansion and inclusion for exotic stereo equipment for those that want more complicated systems. Immersive systems are up to 15 channels plus sub, and the way forward will be to include even more immersive channels. I would support 15.1 multichannel inputs as that would allow for retention of a given AV prepro beyond its days forward, but as for the past - forget it!
