I have tested the XMC-1 which had all the Dirac capabilities codes, mics, and it works flawlessly. In fact it outshines my very expensive Krell gear. I am thinking about selling the Krell to fund an all Emotiva system though I will keep my Krell amo. I dont need a nameplate to be in THE CLUB my system speaks for itself. Just wanted to know others thoughts on it. Thanks
