Mind sharing some info on the AT-600? Can't find anything
Welcome to ASR. I am also curious about its performance. If you plan to buy it and you live in the US, consider shipping to Amir first for him to review? Would be of great interest for us all.

i purchased my AT300 from Amir at Summit hifi. If i were to purchase the AT600 it would only be if Summit was carrying the product. I am in the US i was just trying to figure out if Amir had plans to stock it at Summit. That being said its a solid piece of gear(AT300) for the money and the customer service thus far has been amazing.

Aamir said the AT-500 will be soon, AT-600 2 months from now (so early September I assume).

Oh, here it is. Once you become a distributor or retailer you have to field 20 billion sales inquiries... "Our products are built on scientific principles just like Ascilab, why not carry us..." ... I know this because I used to be on the other end, trying to chase down contact info for this or that buyer... Good luck @amirm ! 
Maybe not too early to put up a "sales inquiry" page with "we are not accepting new brands at this time"...?

It’s a nice proposal but what gives you confidence Emotiva could deliver something like this? Their most recent RMC/XMC got dunked on in the measurements category. I would look for something like this from a MiniDSP or WiiM.

I currently use the now discontinued Emotiva MC-1. Despite all the hand wringing here about not measuring up it has been a pretty good product for me in my combo Home Theater and minimalist two channel system. I use a Benchmark DAC3-HGC and its home theater bypass mode to listen to two channel. Otherwise I use the MC1 for everyday TV app watching, etc. I am pretty close but the product I propose would be even better and could potentially measure better because of the reduced component count. The MC1 is supposedly based on the Tonewinner AT-300 so Emotiva could go back to that well and create something new. I think in the world of home theater processors manufacturers are focused on adding every thing they can to compete but I think there is a market for a targeted less feature rich component that just works well and sounds good. Both Wiim and Eversolo are pretty close by including eArc inputs but they have so far limited themselves to two channel. It is possible they could create an eArc processor at some point which would validate my idea.
It’s an ADI SHARC like almost everything else.
eARC alone I'd find completely useless....see no reason to run things thru a display.
