Emotiva LMC/UMC upgrade - better audio?

Stick with the LMC-1. It was designed and built to be an over achiever. You will need to spend three or four times to get the quality and features included in this pre/amp/processor. plus you get a 50 watt amp and HDMI to boot. Use good quality cables and a good source and clean AC with proper grounding and be happy;)!

Thanks to both for your input; maybe cables are the answer - can't hurt to try.
