Hi guy's,
Happy New Year!

Without going into too much detail now, the new XMC-1 is going to be a fantastic product! I want to be very clear that we are not going down the road of re-badging a product from one of the big Asian makers. This is a new product from the ground up and has a completely new design architecture developed by Emotiva and our design team, and is exclusively for our use only. A couple of details to whet your appetites:

Sophisticated ARM based main processor running Linux for overall system control and flexible interface support.

Dual, high performance TI Aureus DSP's for audio decoding and post processing

Professional grade Burr Brown 24/192 oversampling DAC's and DA's

Analog Devices HDMI v1.4 video switching and management

ARC and CEC support

Many cool features TBA, and the ability to be EASILY upgraded via USB flash drive, and much, much more.

The XMC-1, as it is now designed will reset your expectations for performance and sound quality and stability. Yes, I said it, and I mean it. I believe it is going to be the most exciting and sought after product ever released by Emotiva. I'd hang on to those upgrade cards! They're going to be like gold!!

Be well and we'll talk to you in 2012!

Cheers,
Big Dan
