I already own them Greg.
So I am filling a need.

Rumors persist that the first production run (pre-orders) will begin shipping early 1st quarter, possibly within the next 2-3 weeks. Yay for me since I'm on the pre-order list at $699 for the thing.

This doesn't make me want it less

I'm really not quite sure what the differences are between this and it's rumored big brother so I'm not sure if I should plan on this one or try to wait for the other.

Guess I need to start digging.

According to the boys at Emotiva, the big brother is called the XMC-1. Major proposed differences will include full balanced ins and outs, multiple HDMI output zones with separate video processing for each output, and "a hot rodded analog section" whatever that means. There is no ETA, but conjecture would put in here around the end of 2009 at about $1500 price point.

You have piqued my interest!

I just spent a little time on the Emotiva site and forums to see if I could dig anything else up...

Didn't find much so I'm gonna have to be happy with the UMC-1 for now. Based on what you posted, I don't need much of that stuff so it's a win for me

However, since I won't be looking to buy for the remainder of the year, things may have changed by the time I'm ready to give them my cash...you never know.
