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.

i heard the xda-1 compared to the ayre (don't remember the model number) and a theta.

i suspect that if i had issues with emotiva's original dac the successor wwould not be my cup of tea either.

has anyone compared the xda1 to the xda2 --dac to dac.

i heard the xda1 and it lacked body, somewhat on the lean side.
