"breaking things," he jokes. In fact, he's putting the final touches on Emotiva's XMC-1 media controller, an ambitious product that combines DAC, stereo preamp, multichannel processor, and a new version of TacT's room-correction software developed exclusively for Emotiva.

"We think it's going to be a revolutionary product," Laufman says. And when he deadpans that it'll be priced at $7000, I get the sense that that's exactly what he imagines certain other companies would charge. The XMC-1's actual target price is $1499.

I own some Emotiva gear and I was planning on buying one of the XMC-1's. Unfortunately, that product has been delayed several times.

I heard the unit at last year's Emofest with a not fully completed version of TACT. Sounded good but not ready for prime time.

$7K? I some circles that's a budget price for a stereo DAC alone.
