I would expect what ever outlaw releases will likely have similar features to what emotiva has, though the way outlaw deploys it that's another matter altogether..


from what I've seen of the UMC-1 on the outset it looks good functions ok though bugs gal-lour within its firmware..

they seem quick to add new functions before addressing existing faults, hoping the new features will suddenly correct the old 1's though, I suspect they need someone with an auditing background and programming background to walk through their firmware to fix mistakes and so forth to fix minor and major faults within the system, failure to do this will likely make the UMC-1 a lemon in precessor (pre-pro) arena..

look's on the other hand not sure what they are trying to compete against though I suspect given its rather limited connection options it looks like it's trying to compete with entry level avr's instead of its competitors within the processor (pre-pro) world, hats off to them is they succeed in the project, though limited connections means limited options for some people..
