Far more expensive company too. The Emotiva is the brighter sounding of the two units — no question. This lends music a comparatively top-heavy presentation; great for electronic fare but not so awesome for those thinner-sounding s masters. A question to which the Concero responds immediately. The Resonessence sound is comparatively more hooded, smoother up top and tonally meatier. Pete and I both agreed that the XDA-2 shone fluourescent light onto stage players whereas the Concero was murkier, more mysterious…and better for it.
We both preferred the latter. Asynchronous USB input circuitry and precision clocks ensure a crystal clear listening experience unaffected by common USB audio issues like jitter.
Three selectable oversampling filters allow you to fine tune the listening experience. A separate user selectable headphone blend mode eliminates that "in your head" sound and makes headphones sound more like speakers.
Our earcups use a unique type of semi-aperiodic loading that behaves in a manner somewhere between ordinary open and closed back designs. This helps isolate you, but allows a more natural and open soundstage. Cutting Edge Technology Ultra-low moving mass diaphragm, comprised of a polycarbonate substrate, reinforced on both sides with deposited graphene lattice layers.
Low mass copper clad aluminum voice coil assembly. Precision water-jet machined aperiodic grills and dress panels. Exceptional Comfort Breathable, full-sized ergonomically contoured memory foam filled circumaural vegan leather earpads. All metal headband, with just the right amount of tension, and a soft breathable vegan leather pad.
At nine ounces, the Airmotiv GR1 feels substantial on your head, without feeling heavy, even with all-day listening sessions. Attention To Detail Metal ball-bearing detents for firm precise head band adjustment. Ebony finished natural ash wood ear cup bodies, with water-jet machined semi-aperiodic aluminum exterior grills and dress panels.
Earcup cable connectors use standard high-quality 2. Replaceable two meter cloth jacketed, OFC copper cable, with gold plated electrical contacts, machined metal connectors and strain reliefs. Low microphonics for noise free handling.
The XMC-2 delivers the level of audio performance and features you would expect from separate high-end audiophile components, combined with precise bit-perfect video switching of the latest HDR and Dolby Vision 4k UHD video content, and plenty of channels to support the latest object-oriented home theater surround sound formats including Dolby Atmos up to 9.
The XMC-2 offers the full range of audio options, from native playback of DSD audio, to pure analog playback in our audiophile Reference Stereo mode, to full decoding of the latest object oriented sound tracks.
With the XMC-2 you really can have it all….. When used as a fully featured home theater processor, the XMC-2 starts by decoding the audio from your movie soundtracks and surround sound discs with the best possible sound quality. Sophisticated bass management directs the low-frequency components of the audio spectrum to your subwoofer.
This finely tuned digital audio is then converted into high-quality analog audio by precision DACs and sent to your amplifiers - via a high-quality analog ladder network volume control and audiophile grade analog circuitry.
If you listen to high-resolution audio downloads or other high-quality music sources which don't require all of that advanced processing, the XMC-2 offers several purist audiophile modes. High-quality digital sources, both PCM and DSD, can be converted directly to analog by the precision high-performance DACs, bypassing all of the more advanced processing. And, if you have analog sources which don't require any processing at all, they can be routed directly to the superb quality fully balanced analog signal path, bypassing all digital processing.
Home theater video is continually evolving to deliver a sharper picture, more colors, and more advanced features - which can make it difficult to keep track of what you actually need to take advantage of the latest video content and this year's 4k displays. It also supports static and dynamic HDR, including Dolby Vision, for a brilliant picture, with pure, intense colors, and remarkable contrast.
Regardless of how you configure it, we designed the XMC-2 first and foremost to deliver true audiophile sound quality, so it always sounds great. As an audio component, whether playing stereo music or multi-channel surround sound, the XMC-2 delivers performance and sound quality equal to those you would expect from the best high-end analog preamp.
The XMC-2 combines superb quality analog circuitry, which enables all of your high quality music to sound its best, with precision digital processing, and plenty of channels and decoding options to ensure you the ultimate listening experience with the latest blockbuster movies and concert videos.
With the XMC-2, you really can have a superb stereo music system, and a truly awesome home theater audio system, in a single convenient, practical, and easy to master audio component. Modern home theater systems can be very complex. To make the XMC-2 powerful and flexible, yet simple to configure and operate, we developed our own custom menu and control system. Frequently used options are easy to find and access, more in-depth options are arranged logically, and the current status is always clearly displayed on the dual informative front panel OLED displays and the highly configurable on-screen display.
The XMC-2 can be controlled from the front panel buttons, from its iconic solid metal remote control, or using the handy remote control app, which is available for Apple and Windows computers, and Android phones.
The XMC-2 can also be integrated into most universal remote and whole-home control systems. Because the XMC-2 is all about power and control, it gives you unprecedented flexibility to configure your system to sound just the way you want it to.
Advanced bass management supports up to three subwoofers, and lets you set independent crossover points for each set of speakers. Two entirely separate sets of manual parametric equalizers let you create custom response curves, and can import settings directly from the popular Room EQ Wizard REW. Settings can be saved as files, exported to a computer, and saved settings can be modified using a simple XML or text editor.
Precision bass and treble controls, separate from the more advanced EQ settings, make simple response adjustments easy, and true Fletcher-Munson loudness compensation keeps your music sounding good, even at very low listening levels. One of the main features of the XMC-2 is the advanced Dirac Live automatic room correction system, which operates across both the time and frequency domains, taking you dramatically closer to the action in today's blockbuster movies, and lifting the veil between you and your high-resolution music files.
Dirac Live is widely considered to be the most advanced room correction system available today. It is important to note that the Mute Level is not in reference to your current level. If you select dB, it won't bump down your volume dB from your current level. Instead, it switches the volume from wherever you have it to dB which, for me, was often louder than I was currently listening. The Stealth DC-1 remembers your volume levels for your headphones and will switch to the last volume when headphones are inserted.
When you remove the headphone, it will switch to the last non-headphone volume level. The headphone outputs share a volume level. Lost bits are lost bits - that is something you want to remember. If you got excited about how many songs you could shove on your iPod and compressed everything down to kbps MP3s, well, no DAC can fix that.
It will be jitter free, zero noise floor playback but it will still sound compressed, tinny, and emotionless. The same is true if the original recording or mixing was done with sub-standard equipment. You can't fix that after the fact. All the Emotiva Stealth DC-1 can do is playback your music as it was recorded or mixed. If it was recorded, mixed, or compressed poorly, it is still going to sound like garbage. I wanted to make sure it worked with a wide range of headphones, I wanted to make sure that it was compatible with all the formats Emotiva claimed, I wanted to make sure it didn't introduce lag, and I wanted to ensure that it really did eliminate jitter.
