Got my Emotiva UMC 1 across, need to get it unboxed and hooked up asap. I also got a Harmony 880 universal remote to replace the three remotes in my HT room, hopfully it will work as well as advertised.
Not sure, let me check. They have a newer gen prepro on the anvil, and the uMC 1 is the only one now available( refurb). I think they have done various firmware upgrades to iron out some of the bugs, thats all. OK just checked the manual it says HDMI 3a compliant-so it is not HDMI 4 compliant.
At this time for me personally it doesnt make a difference.
Yes the new prepro is expected soon. but the pricing kills it for me.

Should i get the UMC-1 or USP-1.... whats your take
I would love the added flexibiliy of the UMC-1 but don't want to compromise on Stereo
USP-1 if stereo is the main use, it has got rave reviews and compared to some uber expensive pre's. Infact many users on their forum claim its their best product. I am going to finalize my order for usp-1 in this week.
Awesome.
Your Ascends would do a lot better with a dedicated Preamp. the Beresford can take a back seat and do what it does best
