My only experience was with purchasing their XMC-1 pre/pro and thank goodness for their return policy. It was simply unlistenable to me. I did not want to be in the same room with the sound of it... And that's trying both its D/A conversion, and the analog pass through.... even the analog path was not transparent. I've picked up a used Anthem D2V and LOVE it.... it sounds great, great user interface... and the analog path is very good. I listen to the analog outs of my OPPO 105. Yes i know there is better 2-channel out there, but this is fine for this system.
Emotiva equipmet, how good is it?
I don’t have a big budget but need to start making a decent listening system. I have a couple of options open to me for some equipment. All used since I seem to be able to get a better bang for my buck. Wanted to know what people thought, but of course I know opinions don’t matter as much as my ears so just let me know if you have used or heard either of these pieces. Or if you think something is similar toss it out there.
XPA-100. I have a chance to get 2 for just over $500PT-100. Around $200
Someone also suggested I simplify and just buy a new Yamaha A-S801 Integrated Amplifier
Looking at using my current speakers which are Dali Ikon6 and I also have Totem Dreamcatchers. Oh and the room is about a 11 x 16. And yes I saw the opps in the title but it won’t let me fix the spelling of Equipment.
Thanks for your thoughts.
