roaddog359 Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 I'd get the umc since you have amps already, they will have a new board upgrade for I think 200? That will utilize 3d sometime after the xmc releases. Neither do 9.1, xbox or ps3 can do any network stuff I need like streaming movies and music from pc or internet apps You will also get the upgrade card and then you can sell the umc later and go with the xmc if you so choose. I use mine for movies, games on xbox, and music, its one sweet peice of equipment considering what they are giving it away for. Take a look at the emotiva forum regarding what the xmc all offers to see if you can justify 1000 over the umc The bug issues while still possible in some cases have largely been taken care of with fw releases Switching sources is a simple press of the button on the 30lb burglar stopper remote , you can also customize via the menu which button takes which audio or video input sources, the umc is pretty friendly with quite a bit of customization You lost me a bit. You say it can do gaming (xbox 360)? Can it upscale to 1080p? So would the emotiva be a better choice than a denon, or marantz? would it sound better than those or would it have better video processing, room calabration ect? I can get that marantz for around $700.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elitedemo Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 xbox does have 1080p content... it has a scaler built in to, 1080p as well, mines set to auto I think. I went from using a marantz 5004 as a preamp to this and it was a welcomed addition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roaddog359 Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 Ok, I was hoping to be able to work a little better price for those interested but for a brand new factory sealed full warranty from an authorized Marantz dealer, Model AV7005 preamp/processor with networking and apple airplay the price is $1199.00 DELIVERED to your door. That still looks like a decent price, I was just hoping to get us closer to the $1000.00 mark shipped. Anyway let me know what you guys think. The Marantz sr6006 can go for $799.00 delivered also.

roaddog359 Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 can someone explain what balanced interconnects do for your system? Is that the better way to hook up or what? Help me out here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Everything I bought refurb at acc4less looked like new and came with a factory warranty.Balanced is fine for long runs, not needed in normal hook ups of amps.It just helps eliminate noise mostly in pro music gear.Some people think it's a big whoop, but it's of little value in lower cost consumer gear.

roaddog359 Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 thanks, Fish. I will not worry about balanced then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roaddog359 Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 Fish, how is that umc-1 for gaming and movies? Maybe I will just get that until I can decide if something is better out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted May 7, 2012 Moderators Share Posted May 7, 2012 Now for something completely different, I don't have one but the reviews and features are good (it looks like it anyway). [A] No networking, but at $650 including shipping and a 3 year warranty, and has what looks like the best auto adjustment of any model. The strange thing is it cost much more everywhere else I looked ? http://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/SHERR972/SHERWOOD-R-972-Newcastle-7.1-A/V-Surround-Receiver-TrueHD-DTS-HD/1.html#!more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
