How about the Emotiva XDA-2?

Hey guys,

I've been running an NAD C162 as a pre amp, but have decided that I want to get something that is more up to date.

I've been shopping around and have been keeping my eye on an Acurus RL-11 and an Aragon 28K. What can I say, I've gotta have remote.

Anyway, I was just thinking that I really like my Emotiva XDA-1...so maybe a good choice might be the XDA-2. I'm just guessing that it will be sonically similar to the XDA-1, with the addition of an analogue volume control.

Anyone out there using the XDA-2 as a Pre/DAC? If so, how has your experience with it been?

They're on sale right now for $339.
