Emotiva RMC-1 or RMC-1L

Thx auxinput, I think you are correct. I’ve done a lot of research on the Emotiva. Problem with the Primare is no on screen displays and calibration. That said this SP32 HD is the best two channel I’ve heard out of a processor. Great surround too. Extremely quiet noise floor. Best surround I’ve heard too. I’ve also heard to try a Classe SSP800 processor. 

Yup, there are already problems with the RMC-1.  Emotiva just seems to have problems producing bug-free prepros.  My advice, go elsewhere.  Classé, Anthem, etc.  Here’s an excerpt from the RMC-1 thread on AVS Forum...

This little bit here says a LOT to me:

“Editor's Note: After this review was prepped for publication, Emotiva VP/CTO Lonnie Vaughn informed me that as a result of my reporting, the company has discovered the cause of the intermittent channel-loss issue I experienced infrequently in Spider-Man PS4. As of this writing, the code fix is being internally vetted and should be released to the public by week's end.”

Why now? Why when a reviewer gives feedback all of a sudden they can find the cause? I’ve been reporting this issue to them on my UMC-200 and my XMC-1. Now all of a sudden they can fix it? (Also, has it been fixed? My XMC-1 did it again last night)

Run away.  Run far away. 

@soix - to be honest, I only had the XMC-1 in my system for a very short time (less than 2 weeks) and I did not do extensive testing and use.  For the $2500 price tag, it was a good buy, but there are better alternatives for sound quality.

@bacardi - based on your original post, I am assuming you are looking for a 4K compatible processor.  The Classe SSP is older technology and only support HDMI 1.4 1080p.  That being said, there are other processors that do not have oncreen menus (Bryston and Theta do this).  You could try looking at a Krell Foundation 4K UHD, unless you want more than 7.1 channels.
