Has anyone heard much about the new Emotiva XSP-1 balanced stereo processor coming out? Looking at Emotiva's site tonight, I came across the Nov 16, 2010 preview pics for the XSP-1, so this isn't a very new announcement now. Looks cool. Looks like it will have bass management built in with the sub out on the back panel. Has anyone heard of a release date or more info?

I've searched for XSP-1 info here on our forums, but haven't found anything, so if there's already a thread, let me know.

If they add a headphone jack, a tape monitor-processor loop and a simple 3 input DAC i will consider it and pay more for it. There is enough room inside that unit for of these "utilities".

Looks like it does have a processor/tape loop.

It does have a tape loop, but I totally agree on the inclusion of a DAC. Other companies (e.g. Outlaw, HK) are including DACs in their two channel gear. Seems like a no-brainer in 2011.

I did some Googling this AM, and there are a lot of pages out there about this piece, so even though it's not released yet, it's not new news. I stick mostly around the Audioholics forums, so I hadn't heard about it yet.
