That applies to both AVS and Emotiva's forums...

I own a UMC-1 - have had it since January, so I'm rather familiar with it. With that said, tomorrow a Denon 3311ci is arriving, and if it works acceptably, it will be replacing the UMC-1. Don't get me wrong, the UMC is certainly capable of making some nice sounds in my system, but as more and more information comes out about design choices that were made and will not be changed going forward (e..g bass management), and given the fact that I still encounter issues pretty much every time I use it (minor and easily worked around, but still...), I began seeking alternatives.

To gonk's point, the XMC-1 would be a more fair comparison, based on what the suspected specifications are for both units. Additionally, given the fact that both units are still in development, we can compare paper specs until the cows come home!
