Emotiva XDA-1 DAC Processor 24/192 w/ Remote - USB, Coax, Optical and AES/EBU inputs Works great. I had this as the DAC for optic out on my PC up until 2 years ago when I had to consolidate to something smaller. Just tested it again before listing and it still sounds as good as it did. It has some scratches but still looks decent. Includes remote. The batteries did corrode some inside the remote but I cleaned the connections and it works. I have no idea what caused the corrosion on the outside rear remote cover, see pic. Most items ship out next day. Please feel free to message us if you have any questions. Thanks, Pixie Power

Emotiva Pro Stealth DC-1 Balanced DAC/Preamp with Remote and Rack Ears , Excellent Shape New Batteries included for remote The Stealth DC-1 uses dual independent AD1955 differential D/A converters, each operated in their highest quality internal differential monaural mode, for the lowest possible noise and distortion, followed by professional-grade LM4562 op-amps in the analog section for maximum fidelity. An advanced switchable asynchronous sample rate converter (ASRC) re-clocks the data at the same sample rate as the incoming signal, to dramatically reduce jitter. You'll hear what your source really sounds like. Built on high-quality 4-layer FR4 PC boards, using the highest quality parts, including an oversized toroidal power supply with multiple stages of linear regulation, the Stealth DC-1 offers measured and sonic performance that exceeds DACs costing several times more. The Emotiva Pro Stealth DC-1 gives you a full range of pro-grade inputs, including galvanically isolated AES/EBU (XLR), Toslink (optical), Coax S/PDIF (RCA), and BNC S/PDIF digital inputs, and a high performance asynchronous USB input. All digital inputs support the complete range of sample rates and bit depths, from 16/44.1 to 24/192, including 24/88 and 24/176.4.

Emotiva BasX PT-100 Stereo Preamplifier/DAC/Tuner W / BTM-1 With Original Box. Works great! eBay shows USPS Ground but since I am paying shipping it will go the most economical way. Thank you.

Emotiva BassX A-300 & PT-100 Pre-Amp/Power Amp/DAC Moving this beast on - selling due to upgrade. This has been running duty with my BR03s for some months and its an excellent combo. I ran my Mojo 2 through it, and with the Triangles, there is an excellent synergy there! The PT-100 is a proper swiss army knife, able to accept USB, coax or optical digital signals. It also accepts a variety of analogue inputs. It has plenty of EQ settings to tune it just right, too. As for the power amp - power is right! This ran my JBL Studio 250s with ease. It a fun, dynamic, large, engaging, tonally rich sound. I even ran some power hungry planar cans off this system to great effect. But alas, when you buy new gear, its hard to justify keeping around the kit it replaces, regardless of how good it is. Will post more pics and details shortly. Condition: Great condition as you can see from the pictures. Theres a couple of small dings on some of the edges - so small I could barely get a picture. There are a few scratches on the top of each unit, but obviously, whether theyre stacked or in a rack, youve got to be looking for them to spot them. This is otherwise in good condition and has been well looked after. Included: PT-100 Pre-Amplifier A-300 Power Amplifier Remote control Original packaging & documentation Power cables *Rack not included. Speakers not included. Mojo 2 not included.

Emotiva UMC-1 AV Surround Sound Processor, AM/FM Tuner and DAC and Metal Remote for sale in good condition and box with , HDMI, composite, s-video and component switch from Audioholics Emotiva UMC-1 Pre-Processor ReviewBy Andrew Gash — May 08, 2011Emotiva UMC-1 Pre-Processor ReviewSummaryProduct Name: UMC-1 Pre-ProcessorManufacturer: EmotivaReview Date: May 08, 2011 15:30First Impression: Gotta Have It! Specifications Executive OverviewIts new UMC-1 7.1 processor combines some of the more advanced A/V processing youll find into a package that is hard to beat. Lets start with the hardware. The UMC-1 utilizes Emotivas signature aluminum faceplate design and LED backlit controls that give it a warm, minimalistic look. Theyre going to audiophile appeal and I think they nailed it. The UMC-1 looks like the love child offspring of a McIntosh and Anthem processor. Im just saying... ConnectivityOn the back youve got 5 HDMI inputs, 3 component video inputs and three composite/S-video inputs. Thats enough to handle up to 11 video sources, not counting your integrated tuner and of course any dedicated audio-only sources like CD or Aux. For connectivity to an amplifier, the UMC-1 has unbalanced 7.1 analogue outputs and even a balanced subwoofer output. The other thing that makes this somewhat of an audiophile system is the fact that it doesnt have any provision for serial or network control. Its not really suited or designed for whole home integration systems.As far as inside the box.. theres a lot. For video processing, you have a Genesis Torino chip with Faroudja DCDi. The on-screen display is full color and will overlay overtop of video via HDMI. Theres even automatic setup and room EQ via Emo-Q and an included microphone. Bass management is pretty sophisticated, and you can set different crossover points and slopes for each speaker group (the main channels, center, surrounds). In terms of audio, the system is equally flexible and we liked how you could customize how it treated each signal type.Remote ControlThe remote is totally audiophile... which is to say ginormously big, clunky, and difficult to use or even hold in the hand. Lets face it, Emotiva hates everyone who it gives this remote to. They hate you. Why else would they go all the way back to 1985 to engineer a remote? Fortunately, nobody buys processors for their remotes, so heres what we recommend: get a universal solution, like the RF20 we reviewed earlier, and set this beautiful piece of billet aluminum on top of your processor for everyone to look at it. Its a piece of art, just not something you want to use. The only thing we really liked about it was the trim controls and tuner section. Having to grab a screwdriver to replace the two non-standard N batteries? Not so much...Emotiva Remote Doubles as Navy Seal WeaponWhat are the downsides to this processor? Well, its not 3D-ready, but if youre as excited about 3D as I am, thats about as important as... its just really not that important... Other than that this is a product that has the features you need, and none of the ones you dont. For all its capabilities, its actually quite simple to use and operate - and that simplicity is what endears it to those looking for a more audiophile solution to home theater. Youve got surround sound and video in a product that will do equally well at two-channel stereo sound. This is a very compelling buy from a company that has been producing value-priced products that consistently outperform their higher-priced counterparts. You owe it to yourself to at least check out the UMC-1, especially since they offer a 30-day money back guarantee. Pair the UMC-1 with one of Emotivas hefty multi channel amps and you’ve got a separates solution with more power at your command than a flagship A/V receiver - and for much less.On the BenchUsing our Audio Precision APX585 8-channel HDMI Audio Analyzer, we put the UMC-1 through our rigorous testing procedure.Emotiva UMC-1 Frequency ResponseWhether we measured the UMC-1 via the analog or HDMI outputs, the resultant frequency response was ruler flat to the limits of our test equipment. We measured a mere +-.096dB variation from 10Hz to 80kHz via the analog outputs and +-0.180dB deviation from 10Hz to 20kHz using 96kHz linear PCM on HDMI input. The UMC-1 handled 0dBFS input signals without any issues.Emotiva UMC-1 FFT Distortion AnalysisWith 200mVin, we set the master volume until it reached 1Vrms out of the preamp. The FFT plot was very clean (6.47+ 77.86)dBv = 84.33dB or 100*alog^-1(-95.69/20) = .0006% THD + N. Max unclipped output for the main channels was 5.5Vrms (6Vrms for the sub out) which is more than ample drive for any audio power amplifier to reach its max gain.Emotiva UMC-1 SNR via HDMI In Emotiva UMC-1 with 0dBFS input to HDMI and 2Vrms out, 40kHz LPF produced 95dB SNR which is excellent. Via analog using 200mV in, 1Vout, the SNR was almost 80dB with no weighting or filtering used. Again these are excellent figures.Emotiva UMC-1 All-to-One Crosstalk MeasurementsThe UMC-1 exhibited commendable channel to channel crosstalk performance. With all channels acting as the noise source or disturber driven via the HDMI input, I measured each idle channel one at a time to determine the worst case channel to channel crosstalk via the analog outputs. At 1kHz the UMC-1 yielded >-80dB @ 1kHz and stayed level throughout the entire audio band with only a slight rise to -70dB at 20kHz for its noisiest channel. We consider anything less than -40dB @ 10kHz acceptable so the UMC-1 met that minimum requirement with 30dB to spare! We rechecked the results via the analog inputs and the UMC-1 produced similarly good results.ConclusionFrom its very generous feature set, ability to decode all of the latest HD Audio formats (IE. Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD, etc) to its excellent performance on the bench, the Emotiva UMC-1 has proven to be an excellent value for anyone searching for an affordable separates solution for about as much as a mid priced A/V receiver. Backed by Emotivas 30 day return policy and excellent customer support, we give little pause to anyone on the fence about purchasing this product.
