They make some great stuff, and stand by it. Don't pay too much attention to specs... between weighting and other factors, they usually end up being inconsequential.
I know most manufacturers give you false specs; if you know how pro specs are written (
http://www.rane.com/note145.html) one understands that SNR 105 db means nothing.
Give me something like:
S/N = 105 dB re +4 dBu, 22 kHz BW, unity gain
That would mean something. Anyway - I sent Emotiva an email at the beginning of last week and they have not replied yet - don't like that. I had two simple questions about XDA1...
I resent the email yesterday - we'll see.
By comparison when I had a question about a parasound preamp (the P3 I have today) I got an almost instant reply from Richard Schram (president of Parasound).
I bought the Parasound P3 preamp and again I had a question about channel separation of P3 (about 5 months after I bought it) - got an email from the same guy (president of Parasound) who was asking one of their engineers to measure it for me in certain conditions and 3 days later they got back to me. I was very impressed. They just don't have any DACs ...
