The Streaming audio capability with Asynchronous sample rate converters. Also, the TACT® TCS 3e™ Dynamic Room Correction™ system with PC/MAC GUI.

The "specs" stated are actually just features. Neither of them will determine how the XMC-1 performs. Emotiva has been quick to tout their equipment in the past only to have users complain that it doesn't work as advertised. Is the XMC-1 on the street?

No, they aren't any better the 978 in bringing out their processor. It is supposedly coming out this summer, but developed by their new Chief DSP Engineer, Ray Dennison. Their amps & other products have great reviews; it was only their last processor the UMC-1, that was released way too early, really hurting their reputation.

...developed by their new Chief DSP Engineer, Ray Dennison. For those not familiar, Dennison was chief engineer at B&K for over a decade.

The Umc wasn't Emotiva's only disaster, just their latest. And none of their equipment is UL rated.

It's still a horse race to see who's going to release an actual unit for sale to the public first....Outlaw's 978 or the Emo XMC-1. Though Outlaw has a TWO YEAR head start from when they first announced their next gen processor. LOL  Best,

Outlaw and Emotiva alike, better hurry with the introduction of their new processors. Look what at this recent news wire: " D&M Holdings Plans Sweeping Product Launch of More Than 70 New Offerings within the Next Six Months". I also read more rumors on AVS forums from a possible launch of a Marantz AV7007 for the summer and an AV8007 in the fall. Mind you, they're rumors...
