I am actually a beta tester for Emotiva and do not mind it. I like being able to work through issues and also get first dibs at new changes.
Also I bought the XMC2 the first day it was available and never felt it was a half finished product since I didn’t have the issues that many others did. Was it slow in the beginning? Yes it was until they rewrote the firmware. Of course to those who had issues it’s natural to feel the way you do. Buy something else then right?
I’ll take the G4P with HDMI 2.1 and updated hardware that’s supposed to be 10x faster than the current version for $600. Should last me another 5 years. If I’m as lucky with the G4P that means I’ve had trouble free Emotiva processors since 2011. I should play the lottery
