Salt Peanuts Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Is that the internal of your Sony DAC, Doug? I'm curious, but I've no use for another DAC and if I change my mind, I'm sure there'll be a glut of these in the used market after the FOTM dies down. I'm also skeptical of the 12/1/10 release date considering their past history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blessingx Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Keep in mind from dcpoors link, there were several earlier dates, so Dec. may already have Emotivas famous delays built-in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrion Posted October 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 If it sounds as good or better than the ERC-1 cdp then it will be well worth the $300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrion Posted October 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 I reserved one but I really don't need it so I may not complete the transaction so no one should count on dibs from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrion Posted October 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 This is true. Maybe I should buy it and send it on a tour. Not sure why I should be so generous to a bunch of good for nothing dibbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Monkey Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Opamp I/V however: # I/V conversion: Burr Brown OPA-2134 Is that something that can be easily upgraded with a drop-in chipsy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 I wish not all buttons were lit-up. I think that just makes it too busy looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blessingx Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 I wish not all buttons were lit-up. I think that just makes it too busy looking. x2. So far have liked Emotivas sound and disliked their 'high-tech' goofy home theater stylin'. Even used to reverse the RPA-2 amp because I preferred to look at input/outputs rather than the bright blue lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pars Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 (edited) Is that something that can be easily upgraded with a drop-in chipsy? That's something that should have been in the "discrete output stage". Probably the biggest single benefit of a discrete stage is to handle the I/V, preferably without feedback (IMHO). Not sure why they tout a discrete stage that is basically a buffer. Oh I guess it is also a preamp with volume control. EDIT: for $299, a lot of value here though... you can't have everything at a low price Edited October 12, 2010 by Pars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filburt Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Is that something that can be easily upgraded with a drop-in chipsy? Probably. I'll think about a recommendation on that one. That's something that should have been in the "discrete output stage". Probably the biggest single benefit of a discrete stage is to handle the I/V, preferably without feedback (IMHO). Not sure why they tout a discrete stage that is basically a buffer. Oh I guess it is also a preamp with volume control. EDIT: for $299, a lot of value here though... you can't have everything at a low price Current steering amp w/o feedback probably would have been costly on the R/D side, especially if they wanted nice numbers for the specs as it would have required pretty heroic EC; probably not practicable.
