like the title says............ I sold my XMC-1 to get ready for the RMC-1. at the present I am using the preamp section of my TA-100 along with my XPR-2 amp. They sound incredibly good in stereo, but they are not surround sound. so.... again...... I MISS MY XMC-1.......,    as Mr. T used to say........ 'pity the fool'............

I miss my XMC-1 too !
Sold mine in May in anticipation of a built to order new XMC-2/3 with a new 5 year warranty. My Dirac Live would transfer and Id be good to go for years.
Ahhhhh, sold it just a little too early!
Bahahahahaha!
OH well, thems the chances I took! 😁😲😎🎶🎶🎶
So, now what do I purchase? Many options and time really isn’t a determining factor after waiting this long.
Im not bitching nor moaning about the delays as Ive known from the beginning that this may happen.
I really have gotten many miles and enjoyment from my Yamaha 3020. If I hadn’t liked it to start with I would not have had it to fall back on. Really not that great of a loss!
I sure do miss my XMC-?

I am still enjoying mine immensely. I will probably update to the 4k hdmi board and sell it off meanwhile i will spank the CC for the new XMC-1 gen 3 so i dont have to wait and send my XMC -1 half way across the friggin planet to get the update done. Only way I will go without my XMC-1 is if i have another idling at the curb.

But now you don't have to muck around sending it in and can get a new one of the rack or if time isn't a factor upgrade to whatever comes next  Choice and anticipation is 1/2 the fun . That helped ;didn't it; didn't it  that was the glass 1/2 full perspective.. How many RMC1 end of 2018 or later posts have you seen[ and it may be here in a month or 2] ; I was inspired to arrange installation of 4 of these in anticipation www.krix.com.au/atmospherix/ |

Thanks 🙏 to some valuable input from another member, I will continue to go with the Emotiva upgrade path that will mean the XMC, going to Franklin for ALL the new updates (surprising even myself).
If the Emo. Update machine is well oiled and doing updates by Oct. my machine will be 4, and won’t feel bad about investing in it by then.

They sound incredibly good in stereo, but they are not surround sound. so.... again...... I MISS MY XMC-1......., as Mr. T used to say........ 'pity the fool'............ Tchaik................... Your loss is my gain! I haven't sent it in for the upgrade to the HDMI board. I'm just enjoying it as it arrived. I'm exploring with the XMC-1 and playing with settings. I really enjoy the multi-channel music settings and have been toggling through settings throughout the inputs to tailor the sound to my liking. This unit sounds great when you get it in the sweet spot. Even in 2 channel with my ERC-1, the XMC-1 sounds very good. I did a simple optical hookup with the CD player, and I am going to try the analog connections to compare as I have time. It's a very enjoyable experience so far. Moving up from my MMC-1 to the XMC-1, I also notice how much better the separation is in all aspects of the sound. As I learn to use this processor, I'm sure I'll dial everything in and be able to truly pull everything out of all formats that I use. What a wonderful feeling when you are exploring with a new piece of equipment. I have much to learn from a user standpoint with this much more advanced processor, but the jump in quality is very noticeable. Even my wife has stated that she hears things with the XMC-1 that she never heard with the other processor. Thank you so much for the wonderful transaction. I know you miss her, but you have a real beauty on the horizon when the RMC-1 is released. I'll take good care of her in the meantime! I can't wait to get your feedback on the RMC-1 when you get it in your hands. |

I too sold my XMC-1. I let mine go back in early 2017. I'm lucky though as I have not had a chance to miss it's performance. My wife and I sold our house and moved into an apartment while a new home was being built. So I really had no place to use the XMC-1. And now that we're in the new house I am currently building my new theater room. I am lucky I've been able to wait for the new products to roll out and not miss using them since I have no room for them to go in.
For those of us waiting we all know how things can change with an Emotiva timeline. Heck with any company timeline for that matter. But it sounds like the RMC-1 will ship by late March, XMC-1 Gen 3 by mid-summer and those waiting for the XMR-1 will have to wait until end of the year. Hopefully by the end of Q4 2018, but possibly first of 2019.
