As I said in an earlier post, I got a bit burned out on Emotiva after the LMC-1 mishaps. That product development was so flawed (at least in my opinion) and the responses to the issues so hard to pin down that I want to see the UMC-1 get into the wild and used by some very savvy owners before I feel comfortable with it. I'd be happy to see some more good "high value" processor options on the market, and the specs suggest a very promising product. I just want to see some proof that the appealing feature set is partnered with good implementation. I'm also curious about the Genesis video chip that they're using (if I'm thinking of the right Emotiva processor), which is one that I've not really heard much about yet. After the Faroudja, Genesis has slipped behind some other manufacturers and needs to catch back up.
