Emotiva UMC-1, to be released "any day now"...At $699 it is going to seriously embarrass some very well-respected names (think Krell, Cary, Bryston, etc.) It gets my vote for Product of the Year, 2009...

RW,

I have had the Krell Evo 707 for a few months now and can say that while I totally and whole heartedly agree Emotiva is a great performer for the money, they aren't going to do what my Evo 707 does for HT much less analog audio!!!

Now, I am TOTALLY aware the cost of the 707 is super high, but the performance is equally as good.

Kal,

I hear you and that is why I had to agree with you in my first reply. I still think the 502 is a perilous purchase should Deep Color ever come to fruition you can throw it away or add an external HDMI switcher (say DVDO Edge) that breaks out audio from video....... A huge hassle given the price of the 502.
Kal...in your opinion which HT processor has the best 2 channel preamp capability?
