No, mine is not the one that was tested.
My display died and the unit would not function at all. Prior to that i had (and still do) the tremendous sluggishness changing modes or programming. When i sent it back all of that was supposed to have been fixed. The returned item worked, the display became functional but to this date, it can take 20-30sec to make changes when navigating from one point to another within the menu.
I have the latest software and it did make a minor improvement but its still a mess and frustrating to use.
Once programmed it is fine as long as you dont need to change anything.
Does it sound fine. Not with the bass boost issue. I detected something and called to see what was wrong and they told me to redo dirac. I did and not change. I did some search on the internet and found the bass boost thread on the emotiva lounge. I called support back and they he (at least the person i spoke to) nothing of which i spoke.
And in the standard emotiva style they now say they are aware of the findings and are working on it. They have no idea of if or when there will be a fix since they havent even admitted (to me at least) a problem exists.
I am glad yours is working. What works fine on mine is 2 channel, reference stereo mode only. When listening to that i am happy but i bought this as an avr and not a stereo system. if i wanted a stereo system i am confident i would not be using any made by emotiva. They dont measure well and perform up to their marketing hype ( would like to say to their specs but they conveniently dont publish any)
So are you living with the 30 second delay issue or are you sending it back again?
I had a very similar issue several months ago with out of the blue getting 30 seconds or more of lag between remote command and also getting a persistent audio dropout that could be temporarily (5-10 seconds) fixed by changing audio formats at which point the audio would dropout again.
The unit was sent in for repairs and sent back after replacing the EDA2 board . It worked fine for about 6 hours and started up with the same issues again. It was then replaced with a new unit which (knock on wood) is working fine at the moment.
Before all this started I was using 1.9 firmware which was free from the bass management problem that started with 2.1. I frankly am amazed at the lack of outcry regarding this BUG that has persisted through 3 firmware versions now.
